Hi all,

No mention of how seaworthy this example is, but for the money I assume it's ready for some fun on the water.

Was in Paris June 2015, and went for a trip down the Seine. Saw an Amphicar on the back of a barge...

There was one on the Discovery channel on that Fast and Loud programme and the seller said "it's not a good car and it's not a good boat either". I've only ever seen one and that was 50 years back crossing the Thames. What engine does it have by the way?

I think it was Triumph Herald.

We saw one being demonstrated on a local lake, back in May of this year. It seemed to go reasonably well given its 1200cc engine.
