1953 Riva Florida For Sale by Auction

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Essen event, 26 - 27 March 2020. Stunning Riva Florida, ready for the summer seasonOne of just 426 Riva Floridas; perhaps the most user-friendly modelOwned by the consignor for more than fourteen years and subject to extensive cosmetic and mechanical work The Riva Florida, built from 1953 until the late 1960s, is the most successful of the mahogany Riva single-engined runabouts. This stunning 1953 Riva Florida is from the first year of production and was ordered new by its Italian first owner, delivered with a Chris Craft 4-litre, six-cylinder type KCL engine delivering around 120 bhp. While further details of the early life of this Riva Florida are not known, it has been owned by the consignor and his family for more than 14 years. During his ownership, this Riva Florida has undergone a huge amount of restoration and improvement work, with minimal use in recent years. The hull is presented in varnished mahogany, while the mechanicals have been extensively updated and improved where it would improve the user experience. These improvements include the ordering of a new tarpaulin in 2010, the installation of a new swimming ladder and paddle, revised steering wheel (the original is included in the sale), and the conversion of the electrical systems from 6- to 12-volt, with the addition of an alternator in 2014. During 2013 and 2014, the engine was overhauled by Van Rijn, with all moving parts renewed and a built-in full-flow oil filter fitted. Maintenance following the improvements, as well as a berth and winter storage, was undertaken by Classic Boats/ WoodCraft in Amsterdam. Since its extensive overhaul, this Riva Florida has been enjoyed on the water for just a few hours, and since 2019 it has been stored out of the water. Treated with great care and very well maintained throughout the consignor’s ownership, Hull number 34, one of just 426 Riva Floridas built, is ready to be enjoyed this summer. Atemberaubende Riva Florida, bereit für die SommersaisonEine von nur 426 jemals gebauten Riva Floridas, das nutzerfreundlichste ModellIm Besitz des Einlieferers seit mehr als 14 Jahren und Gegenstand einer umfangreichen kosmetischen und mechanischen ÜberholungDie von 1953 bis Ende 1960 gebaute Riva Florida gehört zu den erfolgreichsten einmotorigen Mahagoni-Booten von Riva. Diese atemberaubende 1953er Riva Florida aus dem ersten Produktionsjahr wurde neu von einem italienischen Besitzer bestellt und mit einem 4-Liter KCL-Sechszylindermotor von Chris Craft ausgestattet, der 120 PS leistet. Obwohl weitere Details aus den Anfangsjahren dieser Florida nicht bekannt sind, wissen wir, dass der Einlieferer und seine Familie dieses Boot seit mehr als 14 Jahren in Besitz haben. Während dieser Zeit wurde die Riva Florida umfangreichen Restaurierungs- und Verbesserungsarbeiten unterworfen, dabei aber nur wenig eingesetzt. Der Rumpf präsentiert sich in gebeiztem Mahagoni, die Technik wurde umfangreich auf den neuesten Stand gebracht und verbessert, um die Nutzung weiter zu vereinfachen. Diese Verbesserungen umfassen eine neue Persenning 2010, den Einbau einer neuen Schwimmleiter und Paddel sowie ein überholtes Lenkrad (das Original wird mit dem Boot verkauft). Ebenso wurde die Elektrik 2014 von 6V auf 12V umgestellt, was auch den Einbau einer neuen Lichtmaschine mit sich brachte. Zwischen 2013 und 2014 wurde der Motor bei Van Rijn überholt, alle beweglichen Teile ersetzt und ein neuer Full-Flow-Luftfilter eingebaut. Anschließend wurden Wartungsarbeiten bei Classic Boats/ WoodCraft in Amsterdam durchgeführt, die auch Winterlagerung und Liegeplatz bereitstellten. Seit der umfangreichen Überholung wurde diese Riva Florida nur für wenige Stunden im Wasser eingesetzt und seit 2019 auf dem Trockenen gelagert. Diese in der Hand des Einlieferers sehr sorgfältig behandelte Riva Florida mit der Rumpfnummer 34 ist eines von nur 426 jemals gebauten Exemplaren und wartet nur auf den Einsatz in diesem Sommer.
