G'day JonS,

Looks great, would be a nice car to go in for a trip to the  otherside of the river through the water,  or some fun on a lake,  to me it looks like the failed project of Hans Trippel with the amphicar in the 60s.
I wish them all the luck they deserve with a project like that.
Greetings,
Eddie.

There have been several designs of car that are supposed to go in the water. Dutton made one that I have seen in action on the Thames and these http://www.wonderslist.com/top-10-incredible-amphibious-cars/
While fun I am not convinced it is a smart idea! They did describe the amphicar as the fastest boat on land and fastest car on the water- back in the 60's
