A beautiful presenting example
A lovely example of a Corniche
convertible. Finished in Old Ivory with rich tan Connolly hides. The twin coach-lines
are matched to the interior tan for that handsome touch. A very desirable and
mature colour of the era and not often seen here in the
The Corniche design with its
signature rear quarter "hip-line" is unquestionably one of the most
elegant of coach-work designs provided by Rolls-Royce's coach-builder -
Mulliner Park-Ward. It has tested the time for elegance and style enduring no
less than 30 years in production (1966-1996). This being a 1971 model with the
early style full chrome bumpers combined with their lower poise, really make
for a handsome motorcar and present amongst the best of Mulliner Park-Ward's
offerings.
This is a good clean example
that has been nicely maintained and presents in fine condition. She has been work-shop
inspected with all work needed carried out. Important costly items such as the
hydraulics and brakes are fully inspected and serviced as required. This
includes checking of all brake hoses and system pressure tested and bled. It is
ready to drive and enjoy. It is very quiet and smooth on the road without any
of the typical “thumps” and “rattles” typical of poor (or even averagely)
maintained examples of this model.
The interior is in very
decent shape although not perfect but quite nice for driver use. The front
seats show a little more age than one might hope for but they free from tears
or rips. The burr walnut wood throughout the car is nice and showing the
typical light crazing that you often see. It is not bad but simply mentioned
for clear disclosure. Revert to the photos and you will see how nice it presents.
The convertible top and head
lining is about 10 years-new and presents very nicely. The carpets with leather
binding are in good condition. Likewise is the leather finish to the dash and
top-roll. The boot (trunk) carpet is in "acceptable" condition.
The body on this Corniche is
very true and the paint is shiny and lustrous. It does however show sign of age
with minor crazing in some areas. I have captured these imperfections in the
photographs. As a driver-condition car, one could leave them as-is because
overall the paint presents shiny and clean. But, if you are perfectionist, you
might want us to redo these areas. We have a fully qualified in-house body-shop
and rectifying these is a straight forward job for our craftsmen. Please feel
free to enquire. Rest assured the paint presents as you see in the photos. When
you look down the sides of the car, they are very straight.
The car has relatively new Cooper whitewall tyres fitted with plenty of
tread and the hubcaps are excellent with no imperfections in the stainless rings
or caps. All remaining bright-work is in good condition. All electrics and
operational features are guaranteed working to specification right down to the
smallest and insignificant dash and courtesy light. Even the clock keeps good
time!
Under the bonnet, the presentation is clean and tidy with all the signs of
a well maintained example. As you would expect, this Corniche comes with its original
jack, correct tools and operating manual.
The car is of a high standard
and is an easy 8 out of 10 driver rating.
~~ This stately Corniche
Convertible, presented with brochure appropriate 20TU number plates, is a nice representation
of the marque. Do nothing to her and take her to your next Rolls-Royce meet where
you will attract considerable attention! ~~
