The Corniche is the Series One, steel bumper type. It is fitted with the mighty 6.75L Rolls-Royce V-8 with twin Su Carburetors, paired with the Turbo Hydramatic 350 (sourced from General Motors). The four-wheel independent suspension with coil springs is augmented with a hydraulic self-levelling system (using the same system as did Citroën, but without pneumatic springs, and with the hydraulic components built under licence by Rolls-Royce), on the rear wheels only. Four wheel ventilated disc brakes are provided.
The strong V-8 runs out smoothly, revs smooth and strong and maintains great oil pressure.
All gauges, switches and lights work properly. Please see the attached videos showing the operation and driving of the car.
This is stunning surviving example of this classic. It is all original, showing very little wear from its 80,000+ miles.
The paint and body are excellent, no scratches or dings. The interior, hood and boot are also in great shape. The Everflex roof is in like-new condition - Remarkable!
The car includes original hardcover Owner's books and spare keys!
REPAIRS UNDERTAKEN:
Repaired all dings and scratches on body and in paint. Repainted rear boot lid due to having been keyed on rear of boot. Clay-sanded and buffed entire car. COST OF BODYWORK AND PAINT, $4,500.00.
Interior cleaned and fully detailed interior and applied Hyde Food to all leathers. Cleaned all carpets. I do have all four original thick, rich Wilton Wool overcarpets in deep red with the car. They are in superb condition.
MECHANICAL REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS
I HAVE HAD THE CAR GONE THROUGH AND REPAIRS BY TWO DIFFERENT LOCAL SHOPS MADE TO ALL MECHANICAL COMPONENTS AT A COST OF OVER $25,000.00. ALL RECEIPTS WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THE SALE. THE MOST RECENT REPAIRS WERE BY RICK HUNT OF HUNT AUTOMOTIVE OF FORT
MYERS, A TRUE EXPERT ON THESE MOTORCARS.
ALSO THE CAR IS RIDING ON NEW AVON TURBOSTEEL 70 RADIAL TIRES, WHICH MATCH THE OEM TIRES FOR THE ROLLS-ROYCE. THE HUB CAPS ARE EXCELLENT.
