Henry Royce's statement; 'the quality remains long after the price is forgotten' seems to perfectly align with this Corniche III, as in period, it was the most expensive motor car that Rolls-Royce manufactured.
This model had a relatively short production run, just two years but it played a crucial role in bridging the classic design elements of the early Corniche models with the modern advancements that would define the later models.
Under the hood, the Corniche III retained the 6. 75-liter V8 engine, a hallmark of Rolls-Royce vehicles, but it was now mated to a more advanced 3-speed automatic transmission that improved shifting smoothness and overall drivability. The suspension system also received a number of tweaks with too.
Finished in perhaps the best colour combination of Royal Blue with beautifully contrasting magnolia hide piped blue and a perfectly preserved dark blue mohair hood.
Apart from the addition of the gold Spirit of Ecstasy', (the original remains with the car plus a helpful security lock)the Corniche remains as built/ delivered when new.
Our service & engineering side has just been through the car and prepared it for sale.... this included a number 2 schedule service, 2 new brake accumulators plus attention to a number of other items that simply on a elapsed time line needed replacing.
It's worthy of note, that Ranmore has previously handled the sale of this lovely Corniche on 4 previous occasions and cared for it since 1997, thus we can verify the minimal mileage of 54, 425.
It would be a pleasure to answer any questions you might have. However, to really appreciate this exceedingly lovely Corniche Drop Head, it needs to be seen “in the flesh”, so do please call me directly on the details below to arrange a viewing.
