Wow - what fun - do we reckon some of these are CMBA eligible!

Simmonds fitted from new with what, I believe, is the only running factory marinised Daimler 2.5 litre V8 (as fitted to the Daimler SP 250) in the UK. Please let me know if you find another! Believed to be Norman Buckley's race boat.

lovely long tail boats! when we visited Thailand some years ago I recall fondly various trips on longtail boats. They generally were usually a dirty great lorry engine or big petrol beast pivoted on a balance point using steel tube etc. We sat on one and the local lad started pulling on a pair of rubber gloves :!: which was a little curious.

He then took two large cables out from the bottom of the boat and held them directly onto a loose battery to crank the engine until it started....Human Solenoid! :hilarious:
