For Sale: 1959 Fenn & Wood Meteor – £14,500
Includes survey and BSS certificate

This charming 1959 Fenn & Wood Meteor is a rare and beautifully restored British sports runabout, brought back to life by a former Formula One engineer. Inspired by the elegant style of the iconic Riva Junior, the boat has been carefully finished to capture that timeless 1960s glamour—combining retro styling with practical river cruising performance.

Measuring 4.5 metres in length, this compact speedboat was originally constructed by the well-regarded Fenn & Wood boatyard in Maidenhead. Known for producing stylish, lightweight river craft, the Meteor was built with a GRP hull and has been sympathetically restored with a beautifully veneered teak and maple plywood deck. Chrome deck fittings and a classic cockpit layout enhance its vintage appeal, evoking the spirit of mid-century European leisure boating.

The craft is powered by a Ford 1700cc 4-cylinder petrol engine, offering a satisfying balance of speed and reliability. While its appearance may suggest pure nostalgia, the engineering and maintenance reflect the precision of its restorer’s professional background. She sits on a trailer and comes with a set of cushions, winter cover, oars, fenders, and ropes—everything needed for immediate enjoyment on the water.

Registered under number D002593, this boat is sold with a recent survey and a valid Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) certificate, making her ready for a new owner to enjoy this season. Whether you're looking for a head-turning tender, a weekend cruiser, or a slice of boating history, this Meteor offers a unique opportunity to own a beautifully restored piece of British craftsmanship.

Offered at £14,500.
