The Riva Super Florida appeared at Boot Düsseldorf in 2017 as a highlight for collectors and connoisseurs. The owner started the engine for the last time in November 2021 (video available). Since then, the boat has stayed under cover, and as a result, she remains in remarkable condition.
Condition & MaintenanceAlthough she looks excellent, the Riva needs technical preparation before use after years in storage. Important tasks include:
-
Replacing filters
-
Flushing fuel lines
-
Cleaning the fuel tank
-
Inspecting carburetors
-
Preserving and treating the woodwork against moisture
During a viewing, buyers can connect a battery to confirm engine turnover and spark.
Unique OpportunityThis is a rare opportunity to acquire an original Riva Super Florida, complete with cradle, cover, and brand-new trailer. Moreover, it is a complete offering that seldom reaches the market. It is ideal for collectors who want an iconic classic with proven value, timeless looks, and rich history.
Note: The cradle and trailer are not included in the price. However, buyers can purchase them separately from the current owner for an additional €10,000.
