1981 Rolls-Royce Corniche

This example is believed to be in its original and unmodified specification and colour scheme. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES The Corniche was built on the then-new Silver Spirit’s underpinnings, and as such features self-levelling hydropneumatic suspension with Girling automatic ride height control and gas-charged shock absorbers, as well as uprated brakes. This example is finished in Turquoise over a complementary blue leather-trimmed cabin punctuated by burr walnut inlays.

It rides on a set of 16-inch wheels, wrapped in whitewall tyres. Factory-fitted equipment includes a Blaupunkt stereo, electric windows, and air conditioning. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess exterior and interior condition.
