AMPHICAR
4-seater convertible.
Just about the only amphibious private car to achieve commercial sales. Does 65mph on the road, and 6 knots (7mph) in the water, thus at best a compromise in either element. Corrosion and water sealing are problems, although rear-mounted engine is Triumph Herald and easily replaceable. German-made, and sold in Britain from 1964.
