I think we may be in danger of deluding ourselves chaps. I have gone through "Mr Williams" completed eBay listings and come to the conclusion that there is only one "waterski special" which he has tried to sell on several different occasions at a range of prices. On each listing the car was carrying the reg. plates ARD 584 and looks to my eye to be the same car.

perhaps we might see some Waterski special Replicas or an 'evocation' soon, even slightly more gawky but lovingly recreated.

Maybe a line of T-shirts "I narrowly avoided the Waterski special"...

Ian - there have been several, some with A7 engines, some with Reliant engines, some with none and one or two that were just kits of parts. There have been several registration numbers and various detail differences in the body design.

I'm fairly certain that not all have gone the whole way through the Ebay process, so they haven't shown up as completed sales.

Hi Martin, I checked everything that was checkable for that one vendor, completed listings, current listings, sold items but I could only find that one car, ARD 584 ??

AUE 525

Strangely Andrew, nothing of the 2 or possibly 3 sales (!!) of AUE525 show up in my search. They were all in 2015 so maybe eBay has a time limit on its search parameters??

All I can find is listings of ARD584 on 4 separate occasions. 20/09, 16/10, 31/10, and 7/11 of 2016.

I only found that one through the link off this site, and no luck finding the others that didn't have water skis but clearly fell out of the same stable. I hadn't considered that there was more than one waterski special until I read the comments above, just a number of 'Leeds' specials. So, yes, it looks like Ebay only keeps limited history.
