What brand is this RIB?
I've just won this on ebay. Despite the seller claiming otherwise, I'm inclined to think its a Tornado. What do we think?

Not sure but should be interesting towing that on the motorway. Those wheels are tiny and the trailers not holding much up

Good price though.

Ha, indeed, love the "road legal" trailer. It'll be going on a proper trailer for the trip back.

Starovich, thanks, thought it was

i got nowan humber, boat is different, and you will probably have polyhuretane tissue and not hypalon, one of the biggest characteristic from Tornado, you can see in my album, few pics from my Tornado, that we solds after 23 years !
