Tim Walker Restorations

This racing boat is reputed to be the third oldest power boat in the world , built in 1905.  It has a 25 foot wooden hull and was bought two years ago at the Henley Traditional Boat Show by her current owner.  When he bought her she was a complete wreck and needed a full body and mechanical restoration.  Boat builders are currently working on the hull and Tim Walker Restorations have been given the exciting challenge of restoring and developing the engine to full show standard. 

Internally the rebuild is to normal restoration standards, but externally it is a different matter entireley.  Every fastener has been finished in stainless steel and all external components are either polished stainless steel or polished alloy.  The owner will have special hatches made so that the engine can be viewed in all its glory.  When she is complete she will live on the Thames and used for lots of grand occasions!
