For sale: RETRO-65, a characterful and unique piece from 1965.


This is a self-built windshield boat together with a trailer made from a Wartburg 311 chassis – a combination that turns heads both on land and on the water.


A combination born in our grandparents' garage.

Built at a time when you made things yourself, repaired them yourself and used what was available – when things were made as needed, and unknowingly something lasting and robust was created.


Self-built, both the boat and the trailer are the result of true craft and the spirit of the time.


The moulds from a Lohi boat were likely used when making the retro.

The lines, windscreen and proportions breathe pure 1960s style.


The trailer's story is its own chapter.

It was originally made from a neighbour's "wreck" Wartburg 311 chassis into a trailer so the family’s moving load could be transported from Sweden to Finland. In this millennium the trailer was later converted into the trailer for this boat.

(Note. The handbrake lever is still attached to the chassis.)

Over the years the whole set has been kept in working order and updated for use – always respecting the original spirit.


The entire trailer has been overhauled as follows:

  • Rust repair + painting

  • New tyres (2022)

  • Trailer was registered in 1971 (self-built)


Over recent decades the following work has been done:

  • Boat fully repainted

  • Conversion work from cart to trailer + rust repair and painting

  • Serviced and structurally inspected

Equipment:

  • Aluminium seat frame.

  • Retro-style upholstery and removable cushions

  • Teak plywood underfloor (inherited from an old sailing boat)

  • Marine batteries × 2

  • Marine speakers × 2 + Grundig marine amplifier

  • Boat registered

  • Oars, life jackets ×3, fire extinguisher, anchor.


The combination has been kept usable, not rebuilt – respecting the original spirit while adding modest modern comforts.


All boats have utility value – few have a story. This is one of them.


Starting price 65 and bid increment 65 chosen to match the theme – Retro-65



Defects and other observations

  • Electrics require a thorough check (wires displaced, photo)

  • Upholstery torn at a corner, needs resewing (photo)

  • The boat's transom likely needs additional reinforcement

  • Aluminium seat fixings detached; need to be screwed back to the edges.
