2018 'RIVA Style' Classic Speedboat
2018 'RIVA Style' Classic Speedboat
*Nearly-new – running in hours only
*Ford turbo diesel engine for power and economy
The thought of owning a Riva Aquarama might appeal to many classic car owners, but values are such they are out of reach to many. The more affordable and practical solution is this bespoke, one-off that was completed in 2019 at a cost of more than £80,000 + vat. Commissioned by a wealthy enthusiast who wanted the style of an Aquarama but not the cost, the result uses modern materials with traditional teak decks, with power coming from a modern 145hp Ford turbo diesel driving through a Castoldi water jet for greater manoeuvrability. Measuring 20ft long and with a 7ft beam, this just-run-in classic speedboat offers all the enjoyment without the high cost. Offered with a custom trailer this really is the complete package!
