Fiat 500 Riva launched

Riva speedboats are noted for their elegance and sophistication. They're very attractive qualities to exude so, spotting a marketing opportunity, Fiat has teamed up with the nautical brand to create a special edition.

The new 500 Riva is being offered as either a hatchback or a cabriolet. It comes in a unique paint shade called Sera Blue, which matches a Riva Aquariva Super hull colour. What's more, exclusive twenty-spoke 16” alloy wheels are fitted and the convertible version boasts a blue roof.

One of the most striking attributes is the mahogany dashboard that features maple inlays. Mahogany is used for the gear knob and door sills too, while the seats are covered in ivory Poltrona Frau leather with Sera Blue piping. Also included in the specification is a seven-speaker Beats by Dr. Dre audio system.

Customers will face the usual choice of Fiat 500 engines and transmissions. UK availability and pricing have yet to be disclosed.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
