At one point in time my dad decided to buy a 1970 Riva Olympic. We had it for a little over 3 months and then the 2008 financial crisis struck, we had to sell the boat, some cars and the country house. But I miss our little boat the most, it was (probably still is) the prettiest thing I have ever touched. Duchessa was her name.

There was an awesome Riva at the San Francisco Auto Show. Gorgeous.

Didn't Clarkson decide his favorite "car" from their road trip was the Riva Aquarama?

Yes he did, but Hammond didn't understand the utter beauty of it.

I'm always wanted a Stancraft.

They're powered by a pair of Viper V10 engines.

Someday I will own an old wood boat.

Key word being "pair". Reminds me of my favorite boat:

Ferruccio Lamborghini's personal Riva Aquarama.

You'll notice the pair of V12s there.

I'll have it with my Villa on Lake Como, t hankyouverymuch .
