JennyMorgan Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I well remember the 1964 Boat Show at Earls Court. I was taken by two boats, one being the Drascombe Lugger, the other being a Riva. Chalk and cheese, don't remember what the Drascombe cost but I do remember that the Riva was an incredible £40,000.00 and that was back then! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrassett Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I holidayed at Lake Garda last year. Just up from the hotel was a small marina that predominantly had Riva sports boats. Absolutely beautiful. There was also an engine on a pallet, and even that was a work of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 The Italians are masters at style, look at their cares and bikes. Just a shame their electronics are crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxwellian Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 It used to be the case about Italian Electrics in cars etc 30 odd years ago, is it still the case? Or are some of us just old with memories of elephants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springsong Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I nearly bought one of those albeit with only one 5.3 V8 Chrysler. would you believe it was in a garage of a house on Dereham Road just up from Waterworks Road. I didn't buy it £3000 was quite a bit in 1983. I later heard the fellow who bought it ripped the bottom out doing a high speed turn on the Thames.
