Description
This is a very rare model of the fabulous 695 Rivale (Riva) convertible auto.
Only 179 made it to the UK and were sold between 2018 and 2019. Most were manual hardtops which makes this car very rare because in total there's less than 150 on the roads today.
The Abarth 695C Rivale is a limited-edition and was launched glodally in 2017 to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the legendary Italian yacht builder Riva.
The car was a design collaboration between Abarth and Riva yachts, honouring company founders Carlo Abarth and Carlo Riva
Production was initially strictly limited to 350 units total, split evenly into 175 hardtop sedan versions and 175 cabriolet (695C) soft-top versions. Due to popularity, it later transitioned into a broader permanent or extended offering in select markets. Around 1700 of all variants were produced for the global markets
This particular car is number production No.1513.
The exterior features a unique two-tone paint scheme of Riva Sera Blue and Shark Grey, separated by an aquamarine double pinstripe that mimics the water line of a luxury yacht.
Interior Luxury: Inside, the cabin includes blue leather seats, carbon fiber dashboard accents, and a numbered interior console plaque built using the same materials and screws found on Riva yachts. Powered by a 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder T-Jet petrol engine pushing 180 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque.Capabilities: It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in roughly 6.7 to 6.9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 140 mph
It's equipped with Brembo brakes, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a dual-tip Akrapovi carbon exhaust system.
This car has the Beats audio upgrade and an Alpine Multi Media upgrade too, which includes Apple CarPlay and reversing camera.
With very recently fitted Michelin tyres and a full service history listed below, it mechanically drives so well.!

I looked for a Riva 695C for ages as we've a family interest in boating. It's been my wife's and she loves it after a couple of Macan's however we're just about to move closer to her work so it won't get the right use so we're going for a larger electric car.
