DELTA ALUMINIUM SPEEDBOAT FROM THE 1960'S

FOR AUCTION HERE DUE TO CHANGE OF HOBBY IS MY DELTA ALUMINIUM SPEEDBOAT, BUILT BY RAY WRIGHT LTD. OF BECCLES IN THE 1960'S AND SUPPLIED BY CLYDE CHANDLERS LTD. GLASGOW.

THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL AND VERY WELL BUILT LITTLE BOATS.

I BOUGHT THIS ONE PAINTED IN GREEN CELLULOSE.

IT HAS BEEN STRIPPED BACK TO THE METAL AND SPRAYED USING INTERNATIONAL PAINTS, ETCH PRIMER FOLLOWED BY PRE - KOTE AND A TOPLAC FINISH IN SNOWBERRY WHITE WITH A LAUDERDALE BLUE DECK.
THE DASH HAS BEEN RECOVERED IN TAN MATERIAL AND SMITHS GAUGES  FITTED.

THE ENGINE IS A FORD 1600 OHV UNIT. I THINK ITS FORMER OWNER MUST HAVE HAD PERFORMANCE IN MIND AS IT HAS THE STRENGHTHENED BLOCK 711M6015BA AS USED IN COMPETITION FORD ENGINED CARS.
IT ALSO HAS ADDITIONAL COOLING TO THE STANDARD HEAT EXCHANGER SYSTEM IN THE HULL. IT HAS RAW WATER PUMPED THROUGH  AN OIL COOLER, AN AQUAPLANE WATER COOLED EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THEN INTO THE EXHAUST PIPE ITSELF.
THE ENGINE IS ALSO DRY SUMP.
IT HAS HAD AN OIL CHANGE, NEW PLUGS, POINTS AND CONDENSOR. THE  STARTER MOTOR HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED PLUS VARIOUS OTHER BITS AND PIECES AS REQUIRED.
THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUN UP A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE BOAT ON THE TRAILER AND HAS GOOD OIL PRESSURE, THE ALTERNATOR CHARGES AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE IN ORDER.

THE BOAT WILL NEED TO BE PUT ON THE WATER AND TESTED AS THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET.

THE TRAILER IS SOLID BUT COULD DO WITH A CHECK OVER AND I WOULD RECOMMEND COLLECTION BY TRAILER OR SUITABLE TRANSPORT.

THE BOAT COMES WITH A COCKPIT COVER.

I WOULD PREFER PAYMENT BY CASH OR CLEARED CHEQUE.

I CAN DELIVER, DISTANCE WITHIN REASON, AT £1.00 PER MILE (ONE WAY) TO BE ARRANGED.
