Re: Riviera
Saw that and went ooooohhhhh!
The bit about the roof worries me a little.
I recall another black riviera Eclat for sale last year with roof problems - not sure it’s the same one

Re: Riviera
The seller reckons it could do with a repaint at some point. They either have very high standards, or the photos are lying, it looks pretty damned good to me!

Re: Riviera
That’s the problem with photos and paint. It may look great in a photo from 10’, but could still be covered in micro blister or have other problems that would need a full respray to fix.

Re: Riviera
Not convinced it sold. Price never seemed to move.
This cars been looking for a long term owner for at least 5 years. Was in an auction back in 2019 but didn't sell, then was trying to be sold mid last year for around the £8.5 k. I think it sold as log book shows last issue mid last year.

Re: Riviera
It does say the listing was ended by the seller as the item is no longer available.
What car is that?
