1972 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible

• First registered on the 10/07/1972 as one of the most expensive cars in the world at £13,269, four times the price of an E-Type
• The chrome bumpered Series I Corniche Convertible is widely appreciated as the most elegant variant of the model
• Built in the best traditions of British coachbuilding with Wilton carpeting, Connolly hides and Burr Walnut veneers
• Presenting today in a beautiful shade of Regency Gold with magnolia leather and period correct black vinyl power-hood
• The extensive history file shows diligent maintenance by some notable owners over the decades and lends weight to the believed genuine mileage of 30,883 (atoc) miles
• With retro colours now widely regarding as post-modern cool, there must be very few cars that scream the 1970s more than a Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible in gold.

The two-door convertible version of the Silver Shadow has been without doubt the most successful convertible ever produced by Rolls-Royce. First introduced in 1966 as the "Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward two- door, drop head coupé", it eventually became apparent by popular demand that this version deserved to have its own model name so, after a few cosmetic changes in 1971, the Corniche was born.

Universally credited as the “best car in the world” and there is only one brand that is used in common lexicon as an example of the best, namely “The Rolls-Royce of…” and this car is one of the finest examples we have seen. The term “retro” is often overused but we conclude that this car epitomises the post-modern era definition of a cool car.
