Hello.

Can anyone identify this old IOM please?

The owner thinks it is a Widget but I have been reliably informed that it is not.

Could it be a Tony Abel, or Oliver Lee design?

As it's not my boat I haven't been able to look inside for any clues.

Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.

Mike

Possibly Oliver Lee Tempo?

Very old advert below from MYN Sept 1988

Thanks I have one very similar and agree with the Tempo as being very likely

Thank you NigelC... that does resemble the boat in the photo.

I'll pass the information back to the seller.

Thanks again 

I worked for Oliver Lee at Burnham on Crouch, and can confirm that this is one of many kits I manufactured.

Thank you Graham.  

It's nice to know even though the boat was sold ages ago and I haven't seen it since.

Best wishes.

Mike

Is that a model called Goldfinger by any chance?
