The seller offers for sale this very rare 2017 Fiat 500C Riva “First 500 Units”, powered by a 0.9-litre TwinAir two-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine producing 105 hp, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Finished in Riva’s signature marine-inspired blue with a folding fabric roof, this 500C is one of the limited “First 500” launch cars and carries its own numbered Eigner plaque, marking it as part of a collectible early series. The interior continues the Riva theme with dedicated trim and badging, while the equipment list includes a Beats Audio 440-watt hi-fi system, rear parking sensors, a smoker’s package and Uconnect navigation. With just 1,000 km recorded, it is presented as an unregistered new car.
The Fiat 500 Riva was created in collaboration with the historic Italian boatbuilder Riva, famous for its elegant mahogany motor yachts. Marketed as “the smallest yacht in the world”, the Riva edition brought nautical styling cues, premium materials and a distinctive colour scheme to Fiat’s much-loved city car. Built on the 500C body with its retractable soft top, the Riva sits at the top of the 500 range and appeals to collectors of modern special editions as much as to enthusiasts of the wider 500 story.
Under the bonnet, the award-winning TwinAir turbo engine gives the little Fiat a lively, characterful performance to match its charm, while the manual gearbox keeps the driving experience engaging. The combination of a limited production run, a strong specification and a place in a private collection make this an unusually well-preserved example. For a buyer seeking a modern classic in good condition with genuine exclusivity, the numbered Riva “First 500” offers a rare blend of style, provenance and everyday usability.
