Hi

Sorry I must have pasted the wrong thing onto the forum.

It was a boat that looked like a 1950's cabin cruiser, but had car wheels.

It was a brochure on Ebay, but can't find it now.

I will have another look later, the item may have finished.

Do you mean Caraboat?  Of course they have a club with a web site (http://www.caraboat.com).

At least as rational as microcars, I'd say.....

Top Gear missed that one, when Hammond made something similar out of a VW camper

Hi

Yes this is the one.

Nice to know there are always nutty designers, nutty people to buy the products, and years later nutty people to collect the items, brochures and bits.

Thanks

Just wanna tell you all, that I saw another Carboat for sale back in 2004, think it went for about £1000, it was somewhere on the south coast, if I remember  ::)  Think it was buildt on the frame of a Reliant Super Robin 850 ... Thats a Car-Boat to me  ;D  ;D  ???

Does it float? This looks like a copy of what Andy Saunders created way back in the eighties: http://andysaunderskustoms.freeservers.com/car%20-%20runaground.htm
