Description
Karmann-built Cabriolet with original specification throughout - Offered with comprehensive history file
The Golf Cabriolet was produced for Volkswagen by Karmann of Osnabrück, whose expertise in open-top construction had already been demonstrated through a long association with Volkswagen.
Based upon the enduring Mk1 Golf platform, the Cabriolet combined the Golf's practical engineering with a reinforced bodyshell and fully lined convertible hood, becoming one of Europe's most successful small convertibles.
By 1991 the long-running Cabriolet was entering its final years, and Volkswagen introduced the Rivage as one of its most highly specified run-out editions.
Sold exclusively in the UK, the Rivage was essentially the British-market equivalent of the Continental Classicline and was offered in both standard and leather forms.
Production was limited, with only 470 UK Rivages recorded in period sources, comprising 218 cloth cars and just 252 Rivage Leather examples.
