dsl ◊ 2024-09-29 19:46	I think this is a 92-ish Golf GTI Mk1 Rivage Cabriolet like this one "All Cabriolets from 1988 on were with a "Clipper" bodykit featuring smooth body-coloured bumpers, wheel-arch extensions and side skirts in a bid to disguise its Mk1 origins. The last run-out batch were designated Rivage, with leather upholstery and four exclusive colour schemes. Just 470 were made, with less than 100 in Classic Green." But this one has low spec plastic wheel covers, not alloys; might be non-GTi Clipper edition (1.8, 90bhp based on previous GL) - March 87+, with colour-coded bodykit from Oct 88, but unclear if white leather(?) was available.

Gamer ◊ 2024-09-29 20:06	I think it's got these wheels: https://www.archives-catalogues-automobiles.fr/shop/36188-large_default/VWG29200-02.jpg (or the older ones with the thick outer molding)
