Description
This beautifully presented, 85500 miles from new Rolls Royce was supplied new by HR Owen, London on 4th January 1989 and has had just two owners in the past 26 years. The Corniche Convertible comes with its original document wallet, various handbooks and comprehensive service history booklet. The service history confirms HR Owen serviced the car six times from 1989 to 1993 when the mileage was recorded at 36801 miles, and St Johns Wood London Bentley and Rolls Royce Engineers C. D Carriage Company and Rolls Royce agents Royal Crown Motors in Madrid have looked after the Rolls Royce for the majority of time since then.
The Rolls Royce spent its early life in London, first registered PR 25. By 1995 at six years old it was registered to a private owner on the famous Portobello Road, Notting Hill before being sold by Jack Barclay Ltd in Berkeley Square in 1997 to its next owner of 19 years, the founder of a global law firm. The Spanish owner registered the car at his St James' St address, and later Holborn address but did take the Rolls Royce to Madrid where it spent some years. Over the 19 years both in the UK, and over on the Continent the Rolls Royce covered almost 20, 000 miles.
In 2016 the Rolls Royce sold to one of our clients, a classic car collector both in the UK and over in the USA. The Corniche has been kept dry stored in Surrey with a collection of magnificent cars, and initially covered around 200 miles between 2016 and 2020. Having been carefully dry stored since 2020, in early 2024 the Rolls Royce was fully serviced, prepared and MOT tested and then covered almost 2000 miles faultlessly touring over to France. The Rolls Royce was then driven up to us from the South of England and is in impressive mechanical condition. The car presents beautifully with gleaming paintwork, the bodywork is exceptional throughout and the original upholstery is of a lovely standard. On the road the engine performs perfectly, the automatic gearbox is perfectly smooth in typical Rolls Royce fashion, and the car ideal for summer touring and warm climate use on the Continent.
