Same here... I've seen them before (a number of times) but only at car shows

Some day I want to see one actually swimming in the water, one of many things on my rather long wish list...

Am I being too demanding on myself perhaps? :crazy:
 
One of our evening students (an older fellow) had one and used to bring it to the Moss Motors Britfest when it was held in NJ.

I saw one sell on one of those TV car auctions for amazing money (I forget how much).

Strange little beasts with air-cooled VW transaxle and Triumph Herald engine.

I saw this one (below) at the New Hamphsire Vintage Celebration a few years ago (we're heading there tomorrow for the '09 event).

Only if you live in Calgary - water, what water? :jester:
 
Years ago when I was a kid I saw one in Vermont when we were on vacation. Drove right down into the water and out into the lake. Too cool.
