Name this boat make and model

Looks like a Moody Lancer to me

According to my little book " 25 Years of Motor Cruisers" it is a Lancer.
Moulded by the Tyler Boat company and fitted out by Moody at Swanick, six were built between 1968 and 1974.
42ft long 13ft beam.
Powered by a pair of 95 HP Perkins. 10 knots
From memory Tylers had a reputation for producing strong robust hulls in demand by those needing commercial craft and workboats.
Do believe they had a moulding workshop near Tonbridge in Kent.
Tylers also produced hulls for Nelson/ Hagg and suspect half the hulls afloat in the 1960s and 70s.

Definitely a Moody Lancer. In fact it looks like ‘Usutu’ - she was local to us for many years before being sold and having a small fortune spent on a refit. Subsequently appeared for sale in Wales, when we went to view as a prospective purchase that we didn’t pursue in the end. ‘Usutu’ was the only one built with stabilisers if memory serves.
 
Looks to be in excellent condition, those aluminium window frames look to be in as new condition, not bad for a 50 year old boat.
Window frames on some early Princess boats would probably be reduced to powder by now.
