NOW THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A RESOUNDING SUCCESS.
TSCC was formed at Companies House on Monday September 21 this year. The same day this Reef was delivered to us. 4 days later on Friday a potential buyer having seen it advertised on our web site visited us – we took him and his wife (and dog) out for a road and water demo on the River Arun, spent a good hour with them. He bought this Reef that day and took it away the following Monday. Owner got paid the same day. The previous owner had this amphib advertised for months before bringing it down to us. We had it sold in 4 days…. JOB DONE!

Customers additional comments on their Dutton :-
Having started with the earlier ‘Surf’ which I still own and has provided much fun, then when the ‘Reef’ was launched I decided to also have one of these as well, the Reef looks very sporty and performs well both on the Road and on the river. I also display it at classic cars shows where it receives much attention.
Attended the annual Amphib meetings, France 2019 and 2023, and Belgium 2026 and unlike other entrants with Amphicars on trailers I was able to drive the Reef to these events from the UK. Next Amphib international meeting will be in Henley-on-Thames, UK. August 1-8 2027, they anticipate about 80 + amphibious vehicles from around the UK and Europe will attend.
Sadly my Reef has to go due to very expensive house roof/chimney repairs!

- Amphibs manufactured in the UK by Dutton Cars would have had all their details checked against Duttons internal documents and are confirmed to be correct.
- As this is a private sale there is no vat payable on this vehicle.
- We use our DVLA Trade Plates and Company Insurance when driving your kit car/amphib on the road so to save money you could cancel your road tax and car insurance.
- For competitive road insurance we suggest looking in the specialist motor magazine TKC. For the best quotes, go for a typical 2-3000 mile/year cover.

- We are urgently looking for 4WD Dutton Commanders and Surfs for 3 waiting purchasers.
A great number of Amphib owners Duttons, Amphicars and military throughout the UK and Europe hold their annual international meeting in a different Country every year on the sea, river, lake or canal. Above is a typical scene at an annual international amphib meeting, this one was France 2019. Next year (2027) will be held in the UK at Henley-on-Thames August 1-8. So if you fancy cruising up and down the Thames with 60 to 80 other amphibs it could be you! Watch this space for further details…..
