Lot 19: Rolls-Royce CORNICHE CONVERTIBLE

Introduced in the spring of 1971 and continuing the theme of the coachbuilt Silver Shadow two-door models, the Corniche was also available in convertible and two-door saloon forms, being built and styled by the in-house coachbuilders, Mulliner Park Ward.� Especially elegant in convertible form, this glamorous motor car was equally at home cruising along the C�te D'Azur or wafting through a capital city.� In its time among the most expensive cars on the market, the Corniche was in strong demand and a long waiting list grew to almost four years.� The specification included split-level air conditioning and fittings and furnishings of the highest order.This white 1975 Corniche Convertible was supplied new by Lex Mead of Weybridge and remained in the hands of the original owner until last year.� Stored for a number of years, the car has a recorded mileage of approximately 66,000 at time of writing and it is understood to be in good all round order mechanically with no known faults.� We are advised that a new battery has just been fitted, the hood has been replaced in recent times and the Burgundy upholstery remains in good presentable order, as does the interior woodwork, etc.Recommissioned last year, the car is to be presented for sale with an MOT certificate valid until June 2008, along with a V5 document and stamped service booklet.�
