Amphicar - 1965
The ‘go-anywhere' car has putatively been with us since the dawn of motoring, but this one really does go anywhere, if you except flying. Rear-mounted engine is ex-Triumph Herald and drives (alternatively) the back wheels or twin screws. Rather high but otherwise almost conventional body seats four. Road and water maxima are 75 and 7.5 m.p.h. respectively.
Front wheels steer the Amphicar - a German brainwave, by the way - whether on land or water. Suspension is all-independent with an unusual system of trailing arms.
