Hi I would say it is probably a pimped Robbe U47 Kit, these were originally built as a dynamic dive but I know lots have been converted

Nice Find..

Hi , don't think its a Robbe , there abs plastic this is fiberglass GRP hull and lots of brass parts , even the net cutter on the front is sharp metal not plasic , most of it is hand made , not mass produced type , and this is a bit smaller ! nice find though deffo £105 cash !
