Built in the historic (1842) home of Riva in Sarnico on the shores of Lago d'Iseo. Usually powered by twin V8's up to 350hp each. Ferruccio Lamborghini had one built though with two of his 4 litre V12's in

I was visiting the Lake at Aix-Les-Bain and thee was a meeting of about 15 Riva Speedboats from Europe. There was one with his engine cover open .Chatting to the owner it had two Cadillac engines fitted! Giving him nearly 50 knots !
But two British guys turned up,with their Albatross speed boats and they attracted as much attention.
Bit like a Morgan does at a Ferrari meet !

Here is the real deal at speed - I have a picture of the Lambo engined boat somewhere in the library. I have followed these beautiful craft over many years and the price of these limited production runs at the time makes your eyes water as does the beauty of lines. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2017/08/30/rivaa.jpg)

Saw that once in about 1972 in and around Portofino, a model disembarked from it, accompanied by a couple of greyhounds and sashayed along the boardwalk towards the harbour wall.
