Yep.
The Healey (for that is what Vesper II is) got the Best Restoration Award at the Last Blast event on Windermere. Steve who owns it was well pleased as it wasn't even the Amateur category but the whole Rally and some of the boats were professional rebuilds of Rivas and the like from Lake Geneva. As it was the last big event before the speed limit hit there were more than 200 entries.

Steve now has Colliwobble featured on their front page.

Yes, but they are a bit repetitive as we were trying to get some action shots. I've cropped the lovely scenery out of them and just made a quick site. Some are a bit soft but I could sharpen up any you found useful.

There was a Healey website a while ago, not sure if its still online. There is a Healey for sale here http://www.peterhamilton.co.uk/ , but most interesting is about 2/3 of the way down the pics of the Healey, there are some boats on the river including what I think might be Gelyce!!

Also a web page for Simmonds found here http://www.simmonds-motorlaunches.co.uk/

Now if I had to have a FAST boat it would be a Barrel back one
