1979 | Rolls-Royce Corniche I

1979 Rolls-Royce Corniche – British Motoring at its finest

The Rolls-Royce Corniche, named after the 1939 prototype and inspired by the picturesque coastal roads of France, represents the epitome of elegance and craftsmanship in a luxury grand tourer. Introduced as a successor to the Silver Shadow, the Corniche was developed by Mulliner Park Ward, renowned for their bespoke coachbuilding, delivering a distinct blend of style and innovation.

This 1979 model features a refined design with a sleek, two-door coupe silhouette, exuding sophistication and presence on the road.

Built on the monocoque chassis of the Silver Shadow, the Corniche boasts a completely new body and a comfortable, spacious passenger compartment. Its distinctive features include the notable Everflex roof, luxurious burl wood interior accents, and a Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio, emphasizing a seamless balance of comfort and style.

Powering this classic is a hand-assembled 6.75-liter V8 engine with twin SU carburetors, producing 218 horsepower - providing effortless performance with a top speed of approximately 210 km/h.

The vehicle is equipped with a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission, complemented by advanced features for its time, such as four-wheel independent suspension with hydraulic self-leveling and ventilated disc brakes, ensuring a refined driving experience.

Only a limited number of these vehicles were produced in the final series, with only 310 fixed head coupé's built between 1977 and 1980. With great attention to detail and ongoing maintenance records, including recent care in Germany, this car comes with a German registration, TÜV papers and gutachten. This Rolls-Royce combines historical significance, craftsmanship, and enduring luxury, making it an excellent choice for discerning collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Experience the timeless allure of the 1979 Rolls-Royce Corniche - a true embodiment of British luxury and engineering excellence.
