Description
1975 Rolls-Royce Corniche Fixed Head Coupe finished in one of the best colour combinations; Seychelles Blue with Dark Blue Everflex roof, with Beige hide interior. Showing just 59, 000 miles (96, 000 klms). This Corniche was first supplied to Japan via Cornes & Co. Limited in right hand drive configuration, she was then shipped to Southern California in the 90s where she resided until the return to the UK in 2016. This Corniche has clearly benefitted from the warmer climate which is evident by the condition both on top and underneath. This particular example comes with a very high factory specification being fitted with; FIAMM air horns, with foot switch which was only found on Japanese market cars, Stone lambs wool rugs, front headrests, two door mirrors, fire extinguisher, cruise control and safety belts for both front and rear. The cabin presents in beautiful condition, with highly polished Burr Walnut veneers, Stone lambs wool over rugs, soft Beige leather and wool cloth headlining, even the tool kit which is obviously complete, has the factory tissue coverings. There is a box file of receipts detailing the cars regular maintenance, also present is the factory construction records. Small wonder that the car received a 2nd in Class award at the 2011 Marin Sonoma Concours d’Elegance during the year Rolls Royce was the featured marquee, the glass trophy still accompanying the car. In recent years the car has been used for continental touring and has received some pleasing upgrades including a Nardi wood rim steering wheel, a Mcintosh audio system with upgraded speakers and amp and Ronal 7 ½” alloy wheels which give the car a sure-footed feel in higher speeds. Overall, this is an exceptional example which is on the button and ready for showing and touring.
