Definately worth a look I think. Just missing the rivage decals from the side and the grille without centre badge isn't standard. drivers seat bolster looks like it doesn't quite match, but could be just the photo. A bit of wrinkling of the seat material, probably been steam cleaned and the glue underneath has come away, could be fixed DIY or by a reupholsterer if you want it to look perfect.
Another thing to assess value is how long you intend keeping it for, if it's a long termer then getting the right car that you want is more important than a bargin that you will want to get your money back on in a couple of years. I have just paid what on paper is a silly amount for an original one owner Audi TT, but it is just what I wanted and perfect in all the right areas. If I sold it now I would loose a couple of thousand, but intend to keep it for 10yrs plus so it's a bit irrelevant really if that makes sense.

As Rich points out no Rivage Decals or anti stone chip foils either.
It says new roof but did they sort/replace the interliner and padding out? Did the headliner need changing and was it done.
Problem is some leave them and to redo the hood only.
Problem being is if you need to replace them then the new hood has to be taken off as all the fixings for the interliner and top pad and the headliner are all underneath.
Again missing the original twin light grille.
Not standard as factory.
Questions I'd be asking are
is the cloth tonneau cover there?
Do the heated seats work?
Heated seat failure is a nightmare as the under seat cross rail holds the relays and these do get wet and malfunction.
Poor advert as it description is wrong.
It should be finished in classic pearl blue paint not inka blue.. Inka blue went on
the cabby clipper/GTI.
The interior is called Mauritius blue.
The wheels are known as Le Castelette wheels.
So if it's been painted inka blue it's the wrong colour and would need another respray to make it correct colour.
I'd double check the log book says Rivage on it also.
What's the Reg number?
Personally I've got the classic pearl Green LTH version of the Rivage.
On a cool evening with wind blokker in place to kill the cabin noise and breeze, heater on full tilt and the heated seats on it's still comfy for the roof down.
As for a project it depends on your skills and or bank balance.
