A well maintained striking example!
Presenting here; a really
gorgeous example of a Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible. Finished in Magnolia (cream/beige)
with rich burgundy fine lines to the waist-rails that match the very royal
presenting burgundy leather interior with black seat piping. The carpets are
matching burgundy with mouton overlays. The same burgundy-red theme carries
through to the boot. (*The pictures taken in sunlight make the car appear white. Please review those additional photos taken in the shade and you will see the true Magnolia colour against a white wall)
This is a well-maintained
example by a long-standing client of ours. It presents in excellent condition. In
2019 the car was sent to us to “attend to whatever is necessary” and so some $25,000
was invested to bring all major and minor services up to date, ensure all
operational features were working as should (AC, electrics etc) and any cosmetic
issues, even though minor, were attended to.
The car now presents in top mechanical and operational condition. 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. Brakes pumps tested, new accumulators and suspension spheres fitted,
calipers and pads serviced. It is ready to drive and enjoy. The odometer shows
a low 36,000 miles and although this is not verifiable, the mileage is
commensurate with the condition (particularly when you look at the condition of
the interior, under-hood, brake pedal etc). It is very quiet and smooth on the
road without any of the typical “thumps” and “rattles” typical of lesser maintained
examples of this model.
The interior was freshened up
as part of its review in 2019. The leather is original but was reconnolised for
consistency in colour and presentation (dark leathers like red, burgundy, black,
brown and blues, tend to “naturally fade”). It now presents quite beautifully and
certainly very rich in appearance. The burr walnut wood on the dash was refinished by Park-Ward Motors and presents flawlessly and truly "as-new". The doors and rear quarters appear to have been refinished at some point prior – not us – and present to factory finish. It was done correctly
and to Rolls-Royce standards. We guess some 10 years ago and besides some minor
“seat-belt marks” on the door cappings. Again, the dash is
perfect. The burl walnut in this example has a deep red hue and is truly
magnificent.
The convertible top and head
lining is in good condition with only slight fade in the rear window. The original
The car had a new set of Hankook 235/75 white-wall tyres fitted in 2018 and
the stainless hubcaps are excellent with minimal to no imperfections. All remaining
bright-work is in good condition.
Under the bonnet, the presentation is amazing. It has not been precision
detailed but simply kept clean and tidy throughout its life. The under-bonnet
heat pads are the originals in good condition.
As you would expect, this Corniche comes with its original jack, correct
tools and operating manual.
The car is of very high
standard and is an easy 10 out of 10 driver rating.
~~ This stately Corniche is an excellent condition
representation of the marque that is ready to be driven and enjoyed. It makes
for an excellent driver for either everyday driving or sunny weekend enjoyment.
