Nice one, you probably would have only regretted it at a later date anyway.

Green Rivages, Black mohair roof.

Blue Rivages, Blue mohair roof.

Made with Classic sonerland material, with Doby weave under fabric backing.

There was an auotmatic version available too... :shocked:

IIRC the Green was produced in fewer numbers than the blue, so tend to be a bit more scarce.

The blues had Mauritus blue interior with blue carpet and later production model blues came with the Grey/blue seat trim and black carpet.

It's tricky to get a good origional material to repair the seats once the bolster has worn through, so be on the look out in case someone is changing the interior to leather and may have some seat material spare.

These are the last of the MK1 production so most informed owners tend to cherish them, no expense spared so they hold their value quite well.

I had noticed also some had a different badging on the rear, not sure if that is genuine or been added later on by the owners.

One thing to look out for is the Le castelette wheels, they are 15's on the Rivage, but some folks put 14's on and hope you don't notice.

I like the Sportlines also, but no power windows or heated seats and black vynil top as factory fitted.

Less electrical things to go wrong with though, but it is nice having a warm back and bum...lol.

Late on in the season with a windblokker fitted, heated seats on and the heater on you can extend the use of the car and still be toasty with the top down.

Proper mint it up ? It looks pretty good already. :afro:

It's certainly worth keeping hold of for at least one summer. :cool:

hopefully will be a case of "just one more summer" for years to come.  :grin: they do only last a couple of weeks a year anyway.
