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 Rivagewas a run-out model of the legendary Mk1 GTi Convertible, enhancing the appeal of the car with metallic blueor green paint, heatedRecaro 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 Rivagewas clearly no ordinary Golf convertible.Finished in Inca Blue and benefiting from all the usual Rivage features, this lovely example dates from 1991 andwas purchasedfrom its first owner by the wife of ourvendor in1996 and subsequently registered to her husband, our vendor.
