It is called Destiny and the diesel-powered cruiser is designed for long-distance and liveaboard cruising which has seen the models remain in high demand since the 1960s.

Destiny was built in Hong Kong in the early 1970s and after 50 years on the water, it is set to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

A spokesman for Auction House East Anglia said: “Although some restoration is required, this boat is an absolute classic and we highly recommend arranging a viewing before auction day.

"It is an outstanding opportunity to own a highly sought-after vessel."
