Reluctant sale - iconic VW Golf GTI Rivage (1 of only 50 on an 'L' plate). This isn't just a car - it's a rare slice of motoring history. Vehicle overview: Volkswagen Golf 1.8 GTI Rivage - finished in striking Classic Blue Metallic with a brand-new, electric Blue Mohair soft top and original cloth upholstery. The Rivage was the final and most highly specified version of the MKI Golf GTi cabriolet and every Rivage is a true GTi at heart. This particular example is exceptionally rare: just 470 Rivages were sold in the UK (218 cloth, 252 leather). Of those, only 50 were registered on an 'L' plate - the very last off the production line. Just 133 Rivages remain licensed in the UK today, making this a unique and highly collectable find. Specification and features: Signature Rivage specification: colour-matched mirror housings, Rivage decals, electric Mohair convertible roof, and 15" polished Le Castellet alloy wheels GTI performance and handling, paired with the open-top fun of a cabriolet. Fully electric brand-new roof, smooth in operation. Original interior - clean, tidy, and refreshingly unmodified. Distinctive Classic Blue Metallic paintwork in excellent condition. Condition and maintenance: Cherished ownership for the past 2 years, always garaged and protected. Bodywork is excellent (bar minor imperfection shown in photo) with gleaming paint, alloys still polished and in great condition and the interior well cared-for. This Rivage has benefitted from significant investment, including: Replacement front strut mounts, springs, and shocks all round. New anti-roll bars (front and rear). New left and right wishbones. New front discs and pads. Complete new exhaust system. Replacement gear linkage. New seat runners. Comes with a lever-arch folder of comprehensive history including the original sale receipt, MoT's, tax discs and a comprehensive record of maintenance.
