Chassis no. CRH14206

- Delivered new in United Kingdom
- Recent and comprehensive works with invoice on file
- British registration document and 13.20 A custom documents

A stunning example of British luxury, combining elegance, performance, and craftsmanship, and powered by a 6.75-liter V8 engine, the Rolls-Royce Corniche offers a smooth, refined driving experience with ample power. The design features a sleek coupe body with flowing lines, complemented by a luxurious interior outfitted with high-quality leather, wood trim, and plush carpeting. The saloon version provides added rear passenger space, making it a desirable choice for those seeking both style and practicality in a prestigious classic. During its time, the Corniche symbolized wealth and status, reflecting the epitome of sophistication in post-war British society.

This Corniche 2-door saloon was delivered new to Geoffrey Myerson in Leicester, UK, in December 1972, finished in striking Regal Red with a White Bridge leather interior and a right-hand drive configuration.
The accompanying history file includes photocopies of its build documentation, detailing the car's specifications, assembly, checks, and inspection records, along with the original invoice dated 21 November 1972 and its Warranty Acknowledgment document.

Sold by Ghost Motor Works Ltd, a firm exclusively specialising in Rolls-Royce and Bentley vehicles, the car was acquired by its current owner in 2021. It was then entrusted to Bahman Cars for a comprehensive rust repair and full repaint, as well as a restoration of the upholstery. In 2022, the car underwent significant maintenance, followed by further work in the summer of 2024, including interior woodwork refurbishment and alternator repairs.

The car is offered with its previous original UK V5 registration document, original Swiss customs document 13.20 A, and a spare key. While the car is not registered in Switzerland, all taxes have been paid in the country.

Please kindly note that this car will be available for viewing by prior appointment in STUDEN (SWITZERLAND): please contact [email protected] and [email protected] for booking.
