Amphicar 770 - 1962 For Sale
Amphicar owners tend to be more loving when speaking of their curious crossbreed between a car and a boat: “We like to think of it as the fastest car on the water and fastest boat on the road.”
Of all amphibious vehicles, the Amphicar is without a doubt the most famous one, and with almost 4, 000 pieces built it's the most successfully produced civilian amphibious car to date.
Almost twenty years after the creation of his first amphibious car, the Volkswagen Schwimmwagen, automotive designer Hans Trippel created this civilian variant. (In the meantime, he also designed the gullwing doors of the Mercedes 300SL, but that's a whole other story.) By combining a Triumph Herald 1147cc engine with a modified Porsche 356 gearbox, Trippel managed to make a car that could achieve speeds of 7 knots (12 km/ h) in the water and 70 mph (110 km/ h) on land — hence the model name "770".
This particular Amphicar is in a surprisingly original condition. Of the four available Amphicar colours, Beach White was the rarest, and they were always delivered with a red waterproof interior, black side bumpers and a black hood, and this is still the case for this example. And contrary to what Dan Neil claims, we have seen with our own eyes that this Amphicar is entirely waterproof! Regularly driven and navigated by its previous owner (with preparation before and cleaning afterwards done by our workshop) it is in fully working condition and ready for many more (nautical) miles!

Price : 58. 000 euro
