Buyer’s notes
About the Rolls-Royce Corniche
The Corniche name arrived in March 1971 for the Mulliner Park Ward two-door versions of the Silver Shadow, built in London as a coupé and a convertible, with the 6.75-litre V8. The coupé was dropped in 1980; the convertible carried on, through later Corniche II, III and IV versions.
What moves the price
- Body: convertible or coupé.
- Condition of the structure and the hydraulics, which are expensive to put right.
- History: a record of specialist servicing, and the car’s factory record from the owners’ club.
Before you buy, check
- Rust in the sills, the front and rear arches and valances, and where the front wings meet the bulkhead, especially on convertibles.
- The hydraulics: three systems, two at high pressure, linked to the rear self-levelling. Pump the brake pedal with the engine off and count.
- The engine: a rattly top end means clogged tappets, and the coolant must have had corrosion inhibitor.
