Yep, my boats for sale!

Gorgeous boat with a really interesting history, designed by Pininfarina, built by intermarine in Italy, bought by producer Cubby Brocolli and featured in James Bond film, the Spy who loved me.

Then it seemed to be forgotten about till I found it in a sorry state a few years ago. Now re-painted as it was in the film, back on the water and engines running (1 of them is a bit noisy though) Loads of new bits and not much left to do.

Onlly selling because I live aboard and need something with a bit more space!

I think I looked at that boat up in Cambridge or somewhere.A rather large chap turned up in a Cobra to show it.It was blue I think.

If its the same boat, You were brave.I believe he wanted 20-30 k at the time.

Nice to see it loved again.

It was an orange Lambo when I met him but he did mention a cobra aswell.

Yes, it was blue and had big vinyl letters down the side saying "License to thrill" - tasteful! They were the first thing to go, amazing how much sleeker it looked just losing those and once the blue paint had gone and it was back in the film colours it looked 10 foot longer!

He told some big porkies about the state of the engines, they've cost me a fortune with new PTU's, alternators, starters, turbos etc! New trim tabs, rebuilt hydraulic rams, new hydraulic hoses etc

Then I wound up in hospital for 6 months and the engineer who was working on the engines decided to sod off with my money and some of the parts I'd bought - it took 2 years in small claims to get it all back. It's now all fitted, the engines are running and I'm back in the water. but as you can imagine, after all that, I kind of ran out of enthusiasm and now just want to trade it in on something with more living space.
