New amphibian to be launched in the UK this wednesday: 100mph on land, 30mph on water - I can't do knots! - £60,000, according to the BBC. I'll post more if I see more.

100mph on land, 30mph on water - I can't do knots

1 mile is 1609 meters
1 nautical mile is 1852 meters

So 1 mph is 1609/1852 knots and 1 knot is 1852/1609 mph

30mph ~ 26 knots

Powder Blue, you say? I ran into this one a few weeks ago... I knew I'd heard talk of them recently, couldn't remember where.

The rest of the pictures from that outing are available here.

It's here, Retractable wheels by the look of the video - but no doors, which is a retrograde step from the Amphicar.

The one with the door at the front is a Heinkel, the red car you show is a Volvo P1800, similar to the one used in the television series: "The Saint".

Four posts on the same thread in 20 minutes, I'll be "FAQ Master" in no time - but what an ugly avatar, must do better!

Oops, even the BBC can get it wrong: £150,000 - I don't know who is going to shell out that in a hurry.
