In the begining

For ages I've been wanting to make an amphibious car. The original plan was to take a four wheel drive car and make it amphibious while leaving it looking like the original vehicle. This is, of course, almost impossible and certainly beyond my ability!

 The thoughts still festered and were reignited at the Southampton Boat Show in September 2019.
This lead to a visit to Tim Dutton in Littlehampton to see a finished car and go for a test drive.

 This is a video of the end of the test drive


And here is a photo of on on dry land.



So the kit is ordered so let the adventure begin.
