The Hermes Speedster is a neat classic-styled runabout with traits reminiscent from the 1959 Porsche 356* and the gentleman-style runabout boats of the 30s’. Hermes, successfully combines luxury, efficiency, style and comfort. Beyond the superbly designed cut down chromed windscreen the foredeck is wonderfully uncluttered, it only has two chromed air scoops, two retractable cleats and a single fairlead front and centre. the cockpit and helm is a low slung, sleek and sumptuous four seater marine sports car. Stepping aboard down deep onto those beautifully upholstered seats. The whole sumptuous but correctly restrained cockpit is pure class- leather, wood, chrome and old school fittings vying for your admiration. The two front leather bucket seats are facsimiles of the 1950s bucket seats and the back seat is a curvy bench seat with the ambiance of an old Jag, it's all a bit James Dean. At the dash, the alloy steering wheel is a minor work of art with its thin walnut grip secured with traditional alloy rivets. The power steering is light and responsive, the single stick engine control is a delightful confection in a polished chrome from Ultraflex. The dashboard instrument are retro and lovely, they even have their own Seven Seas Hermes legends on the face just like an antique Jaeger-LeCoultre wristlet watch or perhaps a Bentley Continental.
