THE ROLLS-ROYCE CORNICHE

Recalling its glamorous Grandes Routières of pre-war days such as the Phantom II Continental, Rolls-Royce's final coachbuilt models - entrusted to the company's in-house coachbuilder Mulliner, Park Ward - were limited to just two, a two-door coupé or similar convertible. The demand for these more glamorous alternatives to the much more numerous Silver Shadow was strong right from the start, a state of affairs that resulted in them being given their own model name - 'Corniche' - in March 1971. The car proved a major success for Rolls-Royce; periodically revised and up-dated, latterly in line with the Silver Spirit generation, it remained in production well into the 1990s, the last (convertible) examples being delivered in 1995.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

Acquired by the current owner in 2015 from the Jim Rogers Collection in Las Vegas, this exclusive Rolls-Royce has traveled just under 30,000 miles from new. As one would expect, the vehicle presents in wonderful condition today. Panel fitment is excellent, no surprise for Rolls, and the remainder of the exterior demonstrates the meticulous care that the car has been given. Inside, the story is very much the same and comes complete with the requisite shearling carpets and delightfully period car phone. In addition, a more modern stereo system has been installed. On file are a number of invoices detailing recent mechanical work, it is best recommended give these a look within the history file. A replacement of the convertible top and work to the water pump present as the most major of the recent projects to keep the car in top shape.

Just 450 of these Series III Corniches were built by Mulliner Park Ward, making this a quite desirable Rolls. The effortless style, and wafting nature of the ride make for excellent summer cruiser. Do not miss the opportunity to get behind the wheel of such a fine example.
