No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThe problem is SVA has almost killed off "simple" kit cars like the Dutton Sierra.
No production cars are really made with a chassis any more which means expensive tests however if you have an old SJ kicking around??

Amphicar 1150 kgs
Jimny 1105 kgs
There is (or was) a 2wd version using Fiesta parts.
I can imagine there might be one or two situations where it may be handy but it's a compromise so not really much good off road and not as good as a boat.

Actually they weigh much the same.Caulkheader wrote: There is a yellow Dutton Jimny based amphicar in a garden close to the ferry terminal in East Cowes here on the Isle of Wight. It hasn't moved for some time, looks quite a bit bigger than the Jimny and being fibreglass I suspect weighs more too.
