Mystere 43 catalogue - another blast from the 70s

[MystereMarcus]

Wonderful thread! Here's mine taken last summer.
Happy New Year All.

Marcus, she looks wonderful - 40+ years old and still she looks in 'as new' condition.
Could you perhaps post some photos of your interior please, so that we can compare them with the stereotype 70's interior shown in the catalogue?
Maybe even the crew coffin (sorry, cabin) in the bow as well if you have it?
And Alf and Vas, could you perhaps post a few (more) photos of your fine vessels as well please?

Excellent Thread

I own the last Mystere built, the same one that featured in the early stages of this thread so am delighted to see all the interest.
Naturally, I would like to add another request for images of the finished Midlands Mamba. I made enquiries about it when it was up for sale part way through the slow restoration. Presumably the current owner purchased it at that time and has stepped up the fit out - congratulations to him. I know of one other Mamba lying in a boatyard on the Medway looking quite sorry for itself (well it did a few years ago), I'll dig out some photos and post them. Also, there was one for sale in Italy recently, the link is no longer valid so I presume that it has been sold.

The one at port medway their top yard against the fence? Iirc had a pair of foden two stroke diesels laying at its rear?

One from Caledonian Canal, one at 21 knot fast cruise and one at a nice trundling 7 knots ...

port cabin (original):

stbrd cabin (not original, used to be the two heads which now moved up towards the bow -further now has an extra coffin/bunk at the aft section):

Thank you for these lovely photos Vas - she is absolutely stunning.
Years of hard work to achieve this, all as detailed in your impressive re-build thread here -

Mystere was a sexy boat in its day and I think its dated style has something that will last. The way the engines were located and all the furniture I think was moulded too gave a lot of clean space, very "modern". I wanted to buy one, second hand of course.
