Cars is pleased to present this 1985 Rolls-Royce Corniche Series I
Convertible. This example was built in March 12, 1985 at the
Mulliner Park Ward factory in London, England and is one of about
3,300 Corniche droptops made between 1971 and 1988. Each one took
more than a month to construct. The Corniche draws its name from
the French and Italian term for a coastal road, especially along
the face of a cliff, most notably La Grande Corniche along the
Riviera between Nice, France and Monte-Carlo in Monaco. The car?s
white exterior is in overall great shape, and presents nicely. The
white folding top is in satisfactory order, however operates
manually. The boot is lined in the same color as the upholstery and
is in overall very good orginal condition. The car?s bumpers are in
very good order as well. This car rolls on whitewall radials, size
225/75R15. The tires are mounted on steel wheels topped by factory
wheel covers. The tires are in very good condition while the wheel
covers are in satisfactory order. For years, Rolls-Royce used to
advertise that its cars? horsepower and torque figures were
?sufficient? without quoting any figures. Under the hood is a 6.75L
V-8 engine mated to a Turbo Hydramatic 350 three-speed automatic
transmission sourced from General Motors, odometer is inoperable.
Driver convenience features are many, as one should expect on a
Rolls - dual climate control, power rack-and-pinion steering, power
four-wheel, vented disc brakes, power windows, power locks.Inside,
the navy blue interior is in satisfactory condition. The driver?s
seat has some blemishes, the matching carpeting and mats with RR
logos is in decent order. The instrument panel, with its burled
wood, looks great, and there are digital readouts for interior and
exterior temperatures, time and compass direction, while the inner
door panels somewhat show their age. The center console and shifter
are in decent shape.The Corniche, available as coup? or
convertible, used the standard Rolls-Royce 6.75L V8 engine with an
aluminum-silicon alloy block and aluminum cylinder heads with cast
iron wet cylinder liners. Twin SU carburetors were initially fitted
but were replaced with a single Solex 4A1 four-barrel carburetor
introduced in 1977. De-smogged export models retained the twin SUs
until 1980, when Bosch fuel injection was added.A three-speed
automatic transmission, Turbo Hydramatic 350 units sourced from
General Motors, was standard. A four-wheel independent suspension
with coil springs was augmented with a hydraulic self-leveling
system It was the same system as Citro?n?s, but without pneumatic
springs, and with the hydraulic components built under license by
Rolls-Royce, at first on all four, but later on the rear wheels
only. Four-wheel disc brakes were specified, with ventilated discs
added for 1972.The car originally used a 119.75-inch wheelbase.
This was extended to 120 inches in 1974 and 120.5 inches in
1979.The Corniche received a mild restyling in the spring of 1977.
Difference included rack-and-pinion steering, alloy and rubber
bumpers, aluminum radiator, oil cooler and a bi-level air
conditioning system was added. Later changes included a modified
rear independent suspension in March 1979. For 1985, there were
also cosmetic and interior changes.Corniche models received Bosch
KE/K-Jetronic fuel injection in 1977. This engine, called the
L410I, had a top speed of 118 mph. Famous and infamous Corniche

Cadillac?s Eldorado Convertible, Jaguar?s XJS Convertible and XJ-SC
Targa and Mercedes-Benz?s 380 SL Convertible.While we do not
recommend stopping alongside another Rolls and asking if the other
driver has any Grey Poupon Mustard, we do recommend that anyone
