Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This rare left-hand-drive Rolls-Royce Corniche Series I Convertible, one of only 3,224 produced, has been repatriated from the US and features striking scarlet paintwork. With just 75,000 recorded miles and a history of occasional maintenance including a recent carburettor overhaul and new carpets, it presents as a well-maintained example ready for open-air motoring.

The presence of olio-pneumatic suspension and a plethora of electric motors ensured that it remained a singularly cosseting experience.

With its fantastic scarlet paintwork, this superb Corniche has all the qualities to make its next owner feel every bit the 1970s jet-setter—it’s not a stre...
