Make

Range/Operator

Speed Boat

Model Number

48

Condition

Vintage Fair. Someone has tried to add a steering wheel - traces of glue evident.

As pictured.  Made in England. 1961 to 1966. These so often went missing, were played with in the bath and separated from the trailers. There are not many around. Certainly the first time I have had the boat! Murpheys law i had matching trailer and sold it just a month ago. If you have the trailer and want to complete the set, this is your chance, don't take a chance, bid now.

Regarding price

Long time buyers may have noticed a sharp increase in item prices. For the sakes of transparency, let me explain:

I obtain most of my goods from overseas, Europe mostly. Due to the inexorable devaluation of the rand, goods whose price has remained relatively static overseas have near doubled in terms of cost to land here. This is not just a direct per item cost, but includes postage (which has greatly increased in cost), customs and even bank charges. All are affected as they get charge on a rand value. i.e. Because the model cost me more in rand terms, I get charged more in terms of customs.

My request is that people please refrain from trying to contact me to arrange private or bulk deals and so forth. This is contra the platforms rules and also not economically viable for me.
