DESCRIPTION

The Corniche, two-door convertible version of the Silver Shadow, has been without a doubt the most successful convertible ever produced by Rolls-Royce. First introduced in 1966 as the "Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward two door, drophead coupé", it became apparent by popular demand that this version deserved to have its own model name so in March 1966 the Corniche was born.

This particular car has been the pride and joy of one previous owner for over thirty years and is now showing just over 19,000 miles. The condition of the vehicle is testament to the low mileage, with every detail still in incredible condition. The Biscuit Leather, lambs wool over rugs, veneered dashboard, and "Everflex' vinyl soft top remain completely original and in truly exceptional order.

The history file contains the original leather-bound owner's handbook, complete with manuals, warranties, service booklet and even photographs of both the car and owner when purchased at a Rolls-Royce dealership. Supplied new with a period, wood-rim Nardi steering wheel and a unique 24K gold ignition key with grille and spirit emblem.

The electrics and mechanics work smoothly and flawlessly to give that ultimate Rolls-Royce feeling. It performs effortlessly on the motorway and even in traffic, the gearbox shifts smoothly and both the brakes and suspension are in fine working order. Supplied with specialist service history, this lovely, low-mileage, Primrose fresh example is ready to be enjoyed.
