Remarks
Beautiful to look at, and fast and fun on the water, this classic c. 1950 (or possibly earlier) Italian motor launch/speedboat is just lovely! Purchased by the current owner in the Netherlands in 2003 (sadly with no prior history), she has been sympathetically maintained and improved, including the reconditioning of her engine, and she is now presented in very good condition throughout and complete with a good road trailer. A really attractive classic which will surely turn heads on any lake, river or coastline. Offered for sale due to limited water access/time.
Please note: The photos of "Zara" outside (photos 1-9) were taken in July 2021 and those of her inside the shed (11-19) were taken in October 2021.
