Description

This lot will be auctioned via Historics Classic and Sportscar Auctioneers, The Mercedes-Benz World sale on Saturday the 25th of November, Brooklands Drive, Weybridge KT13 0SL. The origins of the Corniche came from the continuation of the 1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Coupe and 1967 Drophead, constructed by the famed coachbuilder Mulliner Park Ward in London. The car was named after the stunning roads along the Cote dAzur in France and was an elegant two-door car available with either a coupe or convertible body. By 1982, the coupe had ceased production but convertibles continued to be built until 1996. The first Rolls-Royce to wear the Corniche name was a 1939 prototype based on the Bentley Mk. V, although this was never produced due to the onset of World War II. The car used the standard Rolls-Royce V8 engine as fitted to the Silver Shadow and had an aluminium-silicon alloy block and aluminium cylinder heads with cast iron wet cylinder liners. The fuel system was in the form of twin SU carburettors which were later replaced with Bosch fuel injection from 1980 onwards.This beautiful left hand drive example is presented in gleaming and recently painted dark blue with its new cream leather interior and blue piping. Its hood has been renewed recently and all of the recent works carried out have been done in the original colours. The woodwork and brightwork are all in very good condition and being an early example in such exemplary condition throughout, makes this a rare and superb luxury tourer with poise and penache. The owner has just fitted four new Avon tyres and had the car serviced with some maintenance work carried out at a Rolls-Royce specialist costing over £3000. This Rolls-Royce looks superb and drives extremely well.
