PICS. Found floating around the Brooklin Diaries.
Well spotted...?.yes, its not a car but just a diversion for the folk in Bath. Its a boat, the model being commissioned by Italian boat builder, Riva, and its only available through them at...wait for it...450 euros. I suppose if you can afford a flash boat, you can afford 450 euros for a model of it. Where's the Pontiac, I hear you ask

Boat
Any thoughts on whether it might join the Brooklin collection at a later date Mike? I'd be interested, especially if it's an American boat!
I wish someone would do a range of boats, especially drag boats in 1/43.

There is no indication that it will join the Brooklin range Roger.
It appears to be a separate commission for Riva. As Riva is an Italian manufacturer, I would imagine the boat has the same nationality. It is available on Riva's web site though. The shopping cart is at https://www.riva-yacht.com/en-us/Riva-store/Item-Detail/82/Riva-Aquarama-metal-scale-model

Thanks, Mike. This project gives me even more respect for the skills that make up Brooklin.

I was thinking the very same thing, David. Beautiful model.

Mike, I misinterpreted the last two words as Range Rover.

I must admit David, that although boats do not come into my sphere of interest, the skill that has gone into its production cannot be denied. I'm sure we all wish the project well and will contribute to the continuation of the overall Brooklin project.

Thank you, Mike, but someone had to say it.
