About this car

This is a 1973 Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible, an early example of the open two-door car that grew out of the Silver Shadow range and powered by the 6.8-litre V8 paired with an automatic gearbox. It is finished in Midnight Blue with a new Tan hood and white wall tyres.

The interior is trimmed in Tan, with Cream carpets piped in Tan and walnut veneers. The odometer shows 28,000 miles, which the dealer believes to be genuine. History is recorded back to 2004, when the car had 20,200 miles.

The page says about £16,000 has recently been spent on the car. It is described as ULEZ exempt, and the dealer says a full service and safety check are carried out before delivery.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Rolls-Royce published engine specification (6.75-litre L410 V8); power was famously never published ('adequate'), and no confident factory weight/performance figures for 1973, so left null.).

Engine: 6,750 cc, 8 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
Induction: Naturally aspirated
