We are extremely pleased to bring to market this stunning Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible. Supplied new by Jack Barclay on 27th February 1985 to a Mr Kachelo of Kensington, London, for the eye watering sum at the time of £67, 000. In today’s money that is £204, 626! Even if anybody was to build a car like this today, it would never have the majesty that a Corniche could give. This is an imposing car that transports you in total luxury and, with the hood lowered, offers a memorable experience that only a Corniche can deliver.

The accompanying paperwork is equally as stunning, with things like a recent invoice for over £5, 500 for a refresh after the car came out of a very special and private collection. Even more impressive are the bills and receipts from days gone by. A very nice thing is the original build sheets and road test reports from Rolls-Royce when the car was built to order especially for Mr Kachelo to his chosen specification. And he chose very well indeed - Willow gold with magnolia hide piped in brown with a matching dark brown hood. A very classy and individual colour combination and one that is very befitting to a car of this level and expense.

This amazing car also benefits from very low ownership car with only four previous owners, which is very nice, and comes with the benefit of a fresh MOT which it passed with no advisories. A great indicator of how well this fantastic car has been cared for. There are few cars in this world that speak to you like a Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible and this example speaks very well with a wonderful English accent. In fact, how much more English can one become…
