This is a superb example of this world-renowned British Marque offered for sale after full mechanical and cosmetic restoration. This rare Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe (only 1,108 built between 1971 and 1981) was first delivered to San Fransisco, until purchase by the previous Owner in Florida in 1996. The car has lived it’s entire life in California and Florida.
The Corniche is the Series One, steel bumper type. It is fitted with the mighty 6.75L Rolls-Royce V-8 with twin Su Carburetors, paired with the Turbo Hydramatic 350 (sourced from General Motors). The four-wheel independent suspension with coil springs is augmented with a hydraulic self-levelling system (using the same system as did Citroën, but without pneumatic springs, and with the hydraulic components built under licence by Rolls-Royce), on the rear wheels only. Four wheel ventilated disc brakes are provided.
The strong V-8 runs out smoothly, revs smooth and strong and maintains great oil pressure.
All gauges, switches and lights work properly. Please see the attached videos showing the operation and driving of the car.
This is stunning surviving example of this classic. It is all original, showing very little wear from its 80,000+ miles.
The paint and body are excellent, no scratches or dings. The interior, hood and boot are also in great shape. The Everflex roof is in like-new condition – Remarkable!
The car includes original hardcover Owner’s books and spare keys!
