The body was reportedly stripped to bare metal and repainted red in 1995. Details include a black top boot, chrome bumpers, a vented engine cover, a marine horn, an aft flag holder, navigation lights, and rear bumper/propeller guards. The paint is chipped on the lower lip of the engine cover, and the seller notes that the convertible top fabric has deteriorated and is in need of replacement.

The body was reportedly stripped to bare metal and repainted red in 1995. Details include a black top boot, chrome bumpers, a vented engine cover, a marine horn, an aft flag holder, navigation lights, and rear bumper/propeller guards. The paint is chipped on the lower lip of the engine cover, and the seller notes that the convertible top fabric has deteriorated and is in need of replacement.
Red 13″ steel wheels wear Amphicar-branded hubcaps and are mounted with 165/80 BFGoodrich Silvertown wide whitewall tires. The front wheels serve as rudders when the car is afloat, and braking while on land is handled by hydraulic drums at each corner. The brake lines were reportedly replaced in 1995, and work performed in 2022 is said to have involved servicing the brakes and replacing the rear axle bearings and seals.
The cabin was reportedly refreshed under current ownership and features front and rear bench seats upholstered in red and white vinyl along with matching door panels, a black dash, and black rubber floor coverings. Equipment includes a locking glove box, door-sealing locks, hand-crank and vent windows, a heater and defroster, an ashtray, a Kenwood CD stereo, and a fire extinguisher mounted under the dash.
The two-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a MotoMeter 90-mph speedometer, a clock, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows less than 5k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The rear-mounted 1,147cc Triumph SC inline-four is said to have been overhauled in 1995 and was factory rated at 43 horsepower and 61 lb-ft of torque.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels, the dual nylon propellers, or both through a two-part Hermes transmission with a four-speed manual gearbox that drives the wheels and another two-speed gearbox with forward and reverse gears that turns the propellers. The transmission was reportedly overhauled under current ownership.
