Footnotes

Carlo Riva began in the early 1950s to produce luxury runabouts individually with the firm intention of making them objects of desire for showbiz stars and the jet-set.
His bet was largely successful 10 years later with a range of models that would become emblematic, such as this Super Florida manufactured in 1962.

The passions that Riva arouses are comparable to those triggered by Ferrari but unlike automobiles, the Riva having set the bar very high suffer from little competition.

This superb Riva Super Florida, one of the most emblematic models of the famous brand of motorboats, was purchased in 1979 by the current owner. The latter scrupulously maintained it, especially since he used it frequently. The blue and white upholstery is an invitation to walk under the sun and the gaze of those who admire it.

A logical and essential addition to any sports and prestige car collection.
