1980 ROLLS ROYCE CORNICHE CABRIOLET - Lot 139

1980 ROLLS ROYCE CORNICHE CABRIOLET - Serial number DRL50585C - Nice presentation - Many recent expenses - French registration The Rolls-Royce Corniche cabriolet embodies the pinnacle of automotive luxury. At the time of its launch, it was the most expensive car in the world, and today it retains a presence and elegance that rival contemporary creations. Its timeless lines and refined interior make it an icon that has endured the decades without ever losing its charm. In 1977, the Corniche evolved to become the Corniche II. The chrome bumpers gave way to rubber and rubber elements, the radiator became aluminum, an oil cooler was added and ABS became standard. The wheels adopt a new design, the seats are redesigned, and the dashboard, subtly redesigned, features an elegant boss above the instruments. First registered in the USA in 1980, this Corniche is powered by the famous in-house V8 engine. Since its acquisition a few years ago, its owner has entrusted the car to a complete restoration by specialist Prestige Automotiv. No detail has been overlooked: bodywork, mechanics, electrics, woodwork... everything has been meticulously upgraded. More recently, the light-brown leather interior was completely redone, as were the alpaca soft top and its cover, now brand new. On the road, the Corniche reveals itself to be exceptionally smooth and light, offering the unique sensation of a veritable rolling yacht, the symbol of an extraordinary automotive art de vivre. 1980 ROLLS ROYCE CORNICHE CONVERTIBLE - Serial number DRL50585C - Beautiful presentation - Many recent expenses - French registration document The Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible embodies the pinnacle of automotive luxury.
