What is it?
When renewing the insurance on my 1991 Cab GTI, the brokers's computer suggested that I owned either a Sportline or Rivage-to which I said 'duh?'
So, how do I tell? I am trying to keep the car original and I have ditched the crap that previous owners have felt obliged to spoil the car. It is a metallic midnight blue with four-button leather steering wheel, subtle dark blue trim.

Rivage?
If you think it is a rivage and don't have the stickers near the rear arches, I had some made, they are ?10 each if you are interested! They are absolutely spot on! If it is a Rivage, it will look purple in the sun! By all accounts the paint on the Rivage was done for that car only, it is a metalic blue pearl! The wheels on the car were Le castellet forged 15" alloys and if you have a set on your car then keep them as they are becoming very hard to find nowadays! Other tell tale signs for a rivage is power hood, electric windows and heated seats! The steering wheel sounds wrong on yours though! …Walt!

What is it!
Certainly is mine!! Cheers for the complement! Yeah it is a sunny day car only! But I do drive it..Otherwise what was the point of buying it! I had looked for 8 years for one good enough so it would be a shame not to get some real enjoyment out of it! Besides, cars need to be driven every now and again don't they?
