Lynton Tornado ?

[Tally]

I have a bare GRP hull that is apparently called a Lynton Tornado. LOA around 22-23 ft.
Has anyone heard of this boat or manufacturer. Any info, drawings, build plans, specs, contact numbers, anything ??? would be gratefully received.
Photos available.

Many thanks, Tally.

Never heard of Lynton making boats, used to make Caravans and still make trailers with box bodies.
Now called Lynton Showpoint, google gives:-

Thanks Jim,
I tried them back in Jan following a tip-off from someone else. Very helpful girl who answered the phone; asked everyone on the shopfloor there and even tried the MD but drew a blank.
I got the hull as a freebie but am very reluctant to start spending serious money without some idea as to what I might end up with !!
Cheers, Tally

The only Tornado I know is the Todd Tornado which was a seriously quick power sports cruiser in it's day. I think this would be about the same size. Lynton are known as expert GRP moulders socould have been involved at that level.
Any chance of posting a piccy so we know what it looks like?
There's a Todd at <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.boatsales.uk.net/brokerage/1_upto5k.htm>http://www.boatsales.uk.net/brokerage/1_upto5k.htm</A>

Have failed dismally in trying to post a piccy. If you send your address to r.swayne@virgin.net I'll do it that way. Cheers, Tally.
