One of only 470 UK-supplied, limited editions of the Golf GTi convertible known as the 'Rivage'. Available only in metallic blue or green, fitted with a 5-speed gearbox and 'Le Castellet' forged alloys. Finished in Inca Blue with a newly trimmed Ivory Leather interior, and a newly installed powered Mohair hood. 55000 miles supported by the MOT history, the service records and a number of invoices. The VW Golf is surely one of the most iconic 'hot-hatches' ever conceived. Its popularity has never diminished and a plethora of variants and styles have always been hungrily anticipated and universally enjoyed by the car's cult following all of whom treasure the next instalment from Volkswagen, the hot-hatch giant. Whilst many motorists today appreciate the exhilaration of roof-down 'wind-in-your-hair' motoring, few are willing to forego the comfort of a saloon car in order to enjoy it, however, the Golf GTi Convertible, introduced in 1980, made any such sacrifice unnecessary being designed and built by one of the world's most experienced builders of open-touring cars - Karmann of Osnabrück. With the hood up these little cars were remarkably draught free, lower the hood and you were ready to take advantage of every moment of sunshine which a British summer could muster. The Golf GTi Rivage was a run-out model of the legendary Mk1 GTi Convertible, enhancing the appeal of the car with metallic blue or green paint, heated Recaro cloth seats, Le Castellet forged alloy wheels, powered mohair hood and a five-speed gearbox. With its sub-10 second 0-60mph time and a top speed of 108mph, the Rivage was clearly no ordinary Golf convertible. Finished in Inca Blue and benefiting from all the usual Rivage features, this lovely example dates from 1993 and is currently in very nice condition with a warranted 55000 miles indicated. It is supplied with all its previous MOT test certificates, the service and owners' handbooks.
