The seller offers for sale a Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible from 1978. This cabriolet is powered by a 6.7 liter V8 petrol engine and paired with an automatic transmission. The car is described as starting easily, running well, and driving without issues. The exterior paintwork is generally well presented, with two small areas of paint imperfection of approximately 2 cm noted. The interior shows a high level of care overall, with light wear consistent with use, including minor tearing on the rear seats. It holds a valid technical inspection and is ready to drive.
The cabriolet roof is a fabric soft top. It is present and described as being in good condition, showing light signs of use while remaining watertight. The roof mechanism operates smoothly and quietly, allowing the roof to be raised and lowered as intended. No hard top is included.
The Rolls-Royce Corniche became an icon of luxury motoring during the 1970s, embodying effortless performance, comfort, and timeless design. As a hand-built grand tourer, the Corniche was favored by buyers seeking refinement and exclusivity rather than outright sportiness. Its powerful V8 engine delivers relaxed cruising, while the open-top configuration enhances the sense of occasion. Today, the Corniche Convertible remains highly regarded for its stately presence, smooth driving experience, and enduring appeal as a classic luxury cabriolet.
