Once iconic public transport vessels launched in the 90s, they now sit on land at The Yard at Hemmant, stripped of branding but still bearing council logos inside. Each powered by twin diesel engines and designed for 149 passengers, they’re now eyed by buyers wanting to repurpose them as private homes or unique living spaces—despite visible rust and damage. Bidding ran over two hours past schedule, starting at just $250 each, proving these aging ferries still hold value in unexpected ways.
