Description

Nothing oozes success quite like a Rolls-Royce. This car was originally delivered to a Canadian owner and is one of 1,234 examples of the Corniche II made between 1986 and 1989. This example was manufactured in Rolls-Royce's London, England factory on October 15, 1986 and spent all of its life in underground parking storage. It underwent a repaint in 1998.

Dressed in Light Oyster Metallic (code 0438) with a contrasting brown, power leather top, the car's paint and trim are in overall very good order and the top is in fine form. There is some grazing in thee paint on the top of the front fenders but presentable overall. The bodywork is straight and solid and the body-colored and chrome bumpers fit tightly to the body. The engine bay is very tidy and the cargo area is in fine shape. Mulliner Park Ward is the coachmaker.

This big convertible rolls on Avon Turbosteel 70 white-stripe radials, size 235/70R15 at every corner. Each one is mounted on a steel wheel and topped with a full, factory wheel cover. The tires and wheels are all in very good order.

Under the forward-hinted hood is Rolls-Royce's famous 6.75L OHV V-8 engine (code L410), generating “sufficient” horsepower.

Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power steering, power brakes, cruise control, power locks, power sideview mirrors, power windows, tilt steering column, power seats and power antenna.
