	UAZ 485  (2007) homebuild in Warsaw, Poland Adam has told me: It goes on water quit well. There is a problem with engine over heating in the summer. I have a winch installed that is very helpful with getting out of the water
	UNI-CAT The UNI-CAT is an Amphibious Trackable 8x6WD (off-road), 4x2WD (on-road) street legal vehicle. It is 3.9 mtr long, 1.9 mtr wide and 1.2 mtr high. It weighs 1100 kg empty, with a 1200 kg payload. It has fully adjustable independent suspension. It is rear engined. It has compressed air as standard, and a 40 ltr portable water tank. It has a removable load deck that converts into a 1.8x1.2 meter trailer. It has LHD and RHD steering ports. Most items are quickly detachable. It has a 208-litre internal fuel capacity, and two side lockers (2.4 x.3x.2 mtr). It has dual batteries; dual radiators and most components are reversible left/right or top/bottom to ensure great redundancy and parts utilisation. It has fold-flat windscreen, quick release roll bar, and the rear seat back folds flat to seal of the cockpit area when the vehicle is left unattended. It is built entirely of folded metal sheets, using CAD CAM or manual operation. The trike (the one in front of the line up) is actually the UNI-CAT emergency vehicle. It uses the trailer (which is the load bay deck), with the auxiliary engine. The seats, wheels and most other things are already on the UNI-CAT (for example, the foot rest is actually the muffler cover) so there is next to no weight penalty for having this capability.

	VAZ 1922 MARSH (199X) This project was made by BRONTO that is an experimental product division From the Lada/VAZ factory. a few 100 were made They are used in the Russian  swamp road   speed: 67 km/h water speed: 05 km/h tyres: TRECOL ultra low pressure 201 "Speedway " 1300х600х533 chassis used is the same as an UAZ 466 drive train unknown but not standard Lada. ;-) In 2008 a modified GAZ Gazelle with the same function saw the light of production. that can be the reason that the one in the second photo was found in Moscow city. Another curiosity of Marsh. In January of the year a 2000 the Marsh 1922 reached the Earth North Pole without any modification. It was driven by two people from the Russian research base that is about 114 km from the Pole. 90 years after Robert Edwin Peary, a Niva settled more on the point to the Earth North. They say that Marsh behaved perfectly, maintaining an average speed of 20-15 Km/h in an average temperature of -30şC.

	Volvo L-3314 Amphibi. This was a amphibious vehicle. It was tested on the Göta river. The vehicle was a prototype Valp. Valp is Swedish for "Puppy" Different propeller arrangements was tried until the found something called a "Water Jet" in England. The rear wheel arches are covered in order to increase performance when using the wheels only to force the vehicle forwards in the water. Actually the vehicle could make 2-3 knots in calm waters only by using the wheels. With the "jet device" the vehicle archived 4-5 knots.

	Volvo C304 Amphibi An other Volvo in the water! In the late sixties Volvo tested the amphibious capabilities of the "Laplander". With that experience Volvo made a serious attempt to create an amphibious version of the C300-series. Project "4142" was started in 1972 with 5 prototypes. They were 6x6 and had a watertight transmission and bodywork. Air intake and exhaust outlet were placed on the roof directly above the engine and in/out air went through a shaft in the middle of the vehicle. http://home2.swipnet.se/~w-29934/tgb/1c3prot.html
	VW Water beetle Made in Britain, it has a propeller driven by the fan belt pulley (no reverse). The bottom of the Beetle is made "waterproof" and the lower parts of the doors have metal plates on the inside.

The engine hood (bonnet) is removed to cool the top side of the engine. (There is no air cooling in the water. :) More info on this car is to be found on: www.come.to/autorariteiten
No picture	VW Water beetle In 1985, the former Blue Peter presenter Peter Duncan made an unsuccessful attempt to cross the English Channel in a Volkswagen "Water Beetle" for his programme Duncan Dares. The specially converted Beetle used had a small propeller attached to the rear of the engine's crankshaft. On a 1996 fair in Scotland a differed beetle was one of the star attractions "The unique Lothians Volkswagen Club Water Beetle" which crossed from the mainland to Skye and back toll-free without using the bridge. Scalemodel = RIOSL051 VW Beetle Amphibian, 1964 1:43 http://www.calm.hw.ac.uk/davidf/ms/results/vwfair96.htm Alan Meldrum of the LVC wrote; I found your website with its reference to Lothians Volkswagen Club Water Beetle. The VW was created in 1990 to celebrate 100 years of the Forth Rail Bridge. It was our gesture of one great engineering achievement reflecting another. The car has been out many times, the Skye Bridge protest crossing was great fun, a new bridge had been built and the toll was 8 Euro for a 70 meter trip, people were very unhappy, we used the Water Beetle to make a point.
	WaterCar It's said capable of going speeds of 100+ MPH on land and 35+ MPH on water. The fibreglass amphibious vehicle is based on a 2002 Convertible Camero body style. It is powered by a rear mounted high performance 2.5 litre engine capable of producing 300 H.P. along with a Berkeley jet drive and place diverted. It's a four-wheel independent suspension retracts by a single switch for the water mode operation. The centre-mounted removable ski pole along with the wake it creates make it ideal for wake boarding or skiing. This sporty four-seater makes it possible to drive to the lake, experience an exhilarating boat ride and drive back home again without ever leaving the car. WaterCar, Inc. is looking into the feasibility of producing the car in kit form. This vehicle is for sale and they take your orders now. http://www.watercar.com
