What the boat is, where it is on the Thames, and where it's about to be launched? The pics are from 1967, if it's any help...

Great pics - The engine I think is a Perkins. No idea on the boat, CMBA folk would know though.
Aren't the pics of the house sad, like we've gone downhill a bit.
Wonder if the Consul had the vacuum powered windscreen wipers - who thought up that then !

Yeah , I'd forgotten about the Vacuum powered windscreen wipers, what a mistake that was,
I don't think they ever worked properly LOL.

Spot on. SWMBO (that's her in the passenger seat, BTW) thought it was American Marc but was unsure of the spelling, and a quick Google by me hadn't turned anything up.

Definitely round Isleworth-Teddington way somewhere, as they used to live in Feltham, so would have been relatively local.

Here's a couple of others...
