Description

1976 Rolls-Royce Corniche FHC finished in Midnight Blue with Blue everflex roof. The interior is trimmed in Dark Blue hide with matching Wilton carpets and lambs wool over rugs and is wonderfully original, still retaining the period Blaupunkt radio and cassette. The burr walnut veneer is beautifully figured and in exceptional condition and the whole interior has that correct 'Rolls-Royce smell' which is so often missing. In the boot the original toolkit is present and full as well as the bag for jack and large tools, the boot is carpeted in Grey Wilton with a fitted Grey lamps wool over rug. This scarce motor car has covered just 83,000 miles from new with full service history going back to 1980 when we first serviced her. We continued the servicing right up to 2008 along with other Rolls-Royce specialists with an invoice present for almost every year between 1980 - 2008. Throughout this period the car has just 3 owners all within a 15 mile radius of each other in Hampstead and Kensington. In 2008 we sold the car to a German collector who used the car for European touring and kept it maintained by a specialist in Germany. After a short spell in a large UK based private collection, we are delighted to offer this stunning Corniche for sale having known her for so long. She runs and drives beautifully, benefiting from SU carburettors rather than the troublesome Solex which was introduced a few month after this car was built. A scarce opportunity to purchase such a wonderfully maintained example of these scarce and highly collectible
