Relaint based Boat as seen in pictures, will sell will 12 month mot, with daytime only advisory, was built approx 20 yeas ago I beleieve, Nicely built on a reliant chassis and running gear, great fun vehicle, great fr advertising etc,
Car license to drive,
Sits very low to the ground, I'm 5'11 and 17stone and the driing position is a bit tight to say the least, no windscreen so gets quite wind at speed, the front windshield is cracked but covered with vinyl and hardly noticeable, cant think of much else to say about her

I love the idea of this, has it been sva tested? Is it fully legal to drive as it is? What's insurance like due to mods?
Are you open to swaps, p/x?

That's the funkiest toy I've seen in ages! Imagine pulling up at a manned car park of a posh hotel, handing over the keys and reminding the driver to 'mind the boat.' In fact, the possibilities are endless...
Anyhow, good luck with the sale!

EPIC , thought it may have been the one Andy Saunders built but don't think it is.

So does this have no lights at all ?, only asking as i'm thinking about a Daytime MOT on a Rallycross style Escort i have, but was going to fit brake lights and indicators, just no headlights or tail lights.

unsure on sva test, we bought it as is a couple of years back, have a feeling it may well have been 'pre sva' test, the car is somewhat of a celebrity round blackpool had various tv appearences since we have had it,

fully legal yes, had a couple of 'roadside checks' from our friends in blue, no issues whatsoever,

insurance is £190 per year with adrian flux, thats for me (27) dad (old) and my missus (30)

Will always look at a swap or p ex but its my dads really so will need to run it by him lol.

As for the daytime Mot, no front lights whatsoever, on the back its brakes only I think,

I have owned a lot of 'unusual' cars in my time but this is probably (understandably) the biggest head turner,

I was just thinking the same. ^.^

[369racing]

Unfortunatly not ;D

I havnt tried personally but due to the gaping holes i don't fancy its chances much, ;D

arrgghhh, Wouldnt that be so cool if made to float? Chuck an old mercury outboard on the back too!!

[MK2VR6]

Just thinking, how on earth do you insure a road going boat?! I can imagine the conversation with the insurance company: make - reliant; model - speedboat...

Nice........Every time I parked it I would have to throw an anchor out! Or better still tie it up to a lamp post! And then giggle all the way round Tesco

I'd build a small trailer with a speedboat on it (would probably need to be just a shell due to weight), and have a boat towing a boat.

Wonder if it'd be possible to build a bigger one ?, something like a small cabin cruiser on a 70's yank sedan car chassis with a V8 motor in it, have a fleet of boats cruising around town

What about pulling a couple of skateboards with a mannequin on them, for the full water skier effect
