The well known Italian luxury yacht builder, Riva, has participated in the Bund Classic 2013, representing the first international vintage car show in China. Exceptionally on this occasion, the company showcased two miniatures of Aquariva Super yacht tender and Aquarama superyacht tender in a dedicated corner of the brand’s exhibition area. Organised by China Rendez-Vous, the event took place in Shanghai from October 18 to 20, 2013.

The famous Italian brand is indeed taking advantage of this outstanding opportunity to meet the Asian public, who year after year is showing increasing interest for Made in Italy products, of which Riva, with its unique blend of tradition and innovation, is the perfect representative.
More than 40 cars that have made history around the world were on display at the Bund Classic and took part in the Elegance Contest, allowing all visitors to enjoy a really unique show.
The true challenge of the Bund Classic is not speed, but elegance and exclusiveness, and Riva’s history perfectly embodies the core theme of this unique event.
As early as in the 1950s, the Italian boatyard – which has just celebrated its 170th anniversary – was already a synonym of luxury, social status, flawlessness. The selection of the finest materials, a painstaking care for details, and century-old craftsmanship have breathed life into models that have made the history of this brand, like the Aquarama, a myth in the 1960s, chosen by celebrities like Peter Sellers, Ingrid Bergman, Brigitte Bardot, Vittorio Gassman, Sofia Loren, Anita Ekberg, Jean Paul Belmondo, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
Today, Riva remains true to its tradition with Aquariva Super, the natural stylistic evolution of the Aquarama and the model that represents the brand at best, blending together its past and its present: modern technologies and classical lines combine to give life to a 33-footer characterised by a mahogany deck with wonderful maple inserts and fine leather finishes in the dashboard, reminding of the mythical models of the 1960s.
