An uncompromising head-turner which never fails to get compliments from all who see her! The corniche was rolls royce's coupe and convertible versions of the silver shadow saloon and which was produced between 1971 and 1996. The model was assembled in crewe and finished in london at the renown rolls royce coachbuilders 'mulliner park ward' as a continuation of their 1965 silver shadow coupe and 1967 drophead, with the corniche name applied in 1971. The corniche coupe was discontinued in 1982. Total production of the coupes (1971-82) was only 1,108 and of the convertibles (1971-87) was only 3,239.

The car boasts a clean carfax report and there are no signs of any accidents or rust, obviously an always garaged and meticulously kept example! The convertible top and it's headliner and matching boot (tonneau cover) are also in virtually flawless condition. The original and magnificent burled dark walnut woodwork is also in virtually flawless condition throughout. All the power options and electric windows are working as they should as is the air conditioning! This obviously always extraordinarily well maintained rolls royce engine runs extremely strong and these cars are not slow - the engine purrs like a kitten, never stalls or idles rough and is extremely reliable - there is plenty of power to pull away at the lights and it cruises at high speeds with absolute ease. The transmission shift is almost imperceptibly smooth and the temperature always remains cool. The delightful precision action of the electrically powered steering column gear change and the ultra light weighted power steering allows one to park this 5000lbs of pure luxury with literally one finger and this long but actually quite slender car is anything but ponderous thanks to it's torque and brilliant turning radius! The ride is truly luxurious from a high riding position and the soft feel of the corniche is like no other car on the road. This particular model drives particularly well and must be driven to be fully appreciated. Finished in this striking and classic color combination - this is indeed a rare opportunity to own a piece of classic automotive history, from a time when rolls royce was truly building the world's finest automobiles - a great investment for the rolls royce enthusiast or collector or simply an outstandingly striking example of a very rare and unusual rolls royce for the discerning luxury classic car owner!
