Description

KEY FACTS This Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible is an elegant 1980s luxury car, presented in an appealing and period-appropriate colour scheme.

Under the bonnet sits a 6.75-litre V8, driving the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.

First registered in June 1985, this Corniche has had three registered keepers.

The car has been kept in dry storage since 2018, and was fitted with a replacement gearbox in 2014.

The odometer shows 39,179 miles, however this is not warranted.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES The Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible featured a tuned version of the marque’s 6,750cc V8, firmer springs, thicker anti-roll bars, and revised steering geometry.

This example is finished in Willow Gold with a beige soft top roof, over a Magnolia leather-trimmed cabin, featuring deep-pile carpets and burr walnut trim inlays.

It rides on a set of 15-inch wheels, which are fitted with Avon Turbosteel 70 whitewall tyres.

Equipment includes electric windows, air conditioning...
