Caravelle? I always knew them as Amphicars. Lovely vehicle all around, the propellers must cause a number of raised eyebrows on the road.

Hakån, sort of reminds me of the Triumph Herald. Lee, most beautiful spot on earth (of course I'm prejudiced)

I'll have to bow to your assessment of this car Hakån. It is indeed the Amphicar after looking at the site you posted. Now of course I'll have to say that it looks very much like the Caravelle (Renault) Thank you for the correction. And all are welcome for a visit, although the location of the photos above will have about 9 feet of snow there come February.

Dear All:
On another forum I belong to, it was stated that there is a 1/43 scale model of the Amphicar (so it can be reduced to 1/87 scale). Hpwever, one of the members stated that this vehicle was not a good boat or a good car, for that matter.
Regardless, I always found it interesting nevertheless and would be an interesting (and unique, for that matter) subject in 1/87 scale.

Now of course I'll have to say that it looks very much like the Caravelle (Renault)… Yes, but better not do this with a Renault Caravelle! ;D You would have bad surprises. Interesting to see, anyway, thanks for posting this. If I'm not wrong, it has two registration numbers, the first one as a car (license plates), the second as a boat, on the sides (ME 9123)?
