About this car

The Corniche was Rolls-Royce's two-door flagship of the early 1970s, and this 1973 car is the fixed-head coupé rather than the drophead. It combines the long bonnet and formal roofline of the type with chrome bumpers, twin headlamps and stainless-steel wheel trims.

The car is finished in deep blue, with a leather-trimmed interior, thick carpeting and extensive polished wood, including the dashboard. The odometer reads 78,000 miles.

The dealer reports recent extensive work, a recent service and a full MOT. A history file in a Rolls-Royce document case holds service records, invoices, manuals, literature and photographs.
