Broker's Comments

These boat details are subject to contract.
Allegedly this partially restored , but complete inventory vessel is an ex Bob Spalding vessel. Bob needs no introduction , as the Formula 1 world champion
his career in the eighties particularly embraced every powerboating challenge and full details of his achievements can be found at http://www.fastonwater.co.uk/bob_spalding.html
Local to Suffolk, this amazing Barn Find has been meticulously sourced . Due to unforeseen circumstances she has been laid up for some years but this would make a great project for someone and you would have a very special boat, with what one can imagine a very fast boat that would be a headturner wherever she was seen , particularly finished in period advertising. Her provenance is hearsay but everything points to it being legitimate. This is unique and for a price that is not a reflection of her true value but more of the desire of her owner to see her going to a purchaser who will bring this project to its final fruition, the renovation of a classic and uniquely associated craft.
