Fiona Easterby's Garage (11)

Owned since 2005

As seen in The Spy Who Loved Me. I found this out of the water in a Northampton boat yard. It had weeds growing round it and was painted blue with big vinyl letters saying 'License to Thrill' down the side. I bought it, repainted it as it was in the film and got the engines running before selling it on. It had twin Cummins V8 turbo diesel engines mounted to Hamilton jet drives and producing 900 hp. Top speed was around 50 knots and the jet drives meant it would stop very quickly and the hull would run on the plane in reverse as well as forward. 8mpg cruising 2mpg flat out!
