SUMMARY
A glorious example of the elegant Mulliner Park Ward Coupé with just 45,600 miles from new.
DESCRIPTION
- The Corniche was introduced by Rolls-Royce in 1971 as a development of, and replacement for, the Mulliner Park-Ward Silver Shadow
- It was powered by a 6.75-litre DOHC V8 engine, coupled to a 3-speed automatic transmission sourced from General Motors
- Fully independent suspension using coil springs augmented by hydraulic self-levelling offered optimum comfort
- Dating from 1979, this striking example is finished in a gorgeous shade of metallic green over a classic Rolls-Royce interior with gently patinated Tobacco leather and Nutmeg carpets
- It's been enjoyed by five former registered keepers and has covered just 45,600 miles from new
-
Previously resprayed but described as a largely original vehicle, always garaged and regularly maintained by a Rolls-Royce mechanic who has known the car for years
-
Our vendor describes the car as being in excellent condition. Fresh MOT prior to the sale
-
Its design may be 50 years old, but the classically elegant lines have stood the test of time, and this delightful Corniche would be welcome anywhere
