It's most certainly a gorgeous boat, anyway!

I think that blue one with the tunnel stern is so naff I'd have to be dead for anyone to get me in it.
Debate on Classics anyone?

Oh C'mon ! If you cant see these as classics you have no hope ! You may not like them as boats but they are classics and Barry will fight anyone that says anything else

It is only the blue one with the tunnel stern posted by Barry H that I think is naff, the others are all as good as you can get.
Still, it's all part of the rich tapestry of life.

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.

I've found the engine for it....

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/

I know where there's one of these:
but I don't think it's for sale. I believe its owner is casually/passively looking for a boat for it.

Tafna's for sale
