There's a guy local to Southampton - boat is powered by a Jaguar motor, but haven't seen him for a few years. Last saw one on ebay 6 years ago.

Yes i found out about that, at the time guy wanted £14k for it.
Thought that was a little heavy as it had been messed with, home made screen and alloy
beer barrel as a fuel tank

A member spotted one (at least I thought it was one) near Pevensey Bay a few months back.

This was the ebay one.

This is what I saw at Pevensey Bay recently, don't know if it is still there.

Dont know what the small one would be,looks like it was outboard?
The one with a leg could have a jag inboard do you think ,they were called Star Sapphire, like to own that one.
Mine is the Sapphire with pre X flow Ford & Wortham blake Fisherboy gearbox.
Half way through resto,Getting there.

Looks a big project - post up on the Restorations section if you'd like.

The little one has a shaft poking though so mid engined I guess...

Here's a link to the chap's pics of his.
