Good project for someone, fix this up and take it to Salcombe and it'll be worth a fortune.

Error 404 - but this one (first owner a distant relative of mine) is still for sale after about two years: http://www.morgangilesyachts.org.uk/ships/listings...

Fixed the link.

That big Monaco, I got the impression that the pics were a load of rendered cad images, is she restored? That's big money.

It was bought at the London Boat Show in 1963 but the inside looks bang up to date. The engine bay looks pretty shiny too. Make 'em an offer smile

From what I can see of the engine it has 'LLAR' on the side - Caterpillar?

D333 Cats - real old junk.

Nice boat, good provenance, but in reality, its a long way sub £100k.

Wow, disappointing. The owners must have spent a fortune on the interior. Just a bit too big and pricey for me (and it wouldn't fit under the A10!)
