Vehicle Description
Here is a really stunning looking Rolls-Royce Corniche II
convertible finished in much sought after Royal Blue (metallic)
with Cream Connolly hide interior and navy blue piping on the
seats. The carpets are beautifully contrasted with Ambassador blue
(Wedgewood blue) Wilton wool carpets throughout with cream piping.
A very, very elegant colour combination throughout. The twin fine
lines to the waist-rails are hand-painted in cream to match the
interior. The Royal blue takes on a dramatic effect in strong
sunlight but in evening and subdued light, transforms to a very
formal quasi black hue. Very nice indeed. The Rolls-Royce Corniche
II is powered by a 6.75 litre Rolls-Royce designed and built V8
engine with the Bosch fuel injecton system which provides ultra
smooth touring. This example also has the not-so-often-seen rear
seat picnic tables. This example is very original in every detail -
with the exception of an aftermarket radio installed (which can
easily be changed back to factory, or something more modern, if so
desired). This one is a very clean 2-owner example, first sold when
new in Florida where it resided for some 15 years. She was then
owned and regularly maintained in the NY Hamptons as a summer car
for the next 20 years. Used sparingly and for special occasions she
traversed only some 4,000 miles over that time. Overall, the very
low 44,000 odd miles reflects her cossetted life. Like all
Park-Ward Motor cars, the car is being sold turn-key. It is subject
to a unique process by us only, known as "Predelivery
Commissioning" whereby every major and minor service is done, any
preventative maintenance needed, attended to, and all operational
features serviced as required; AC, seats, windows, etc. The process
is a bit like late model cars when they are sold with a Certified
Warranty. With Park-Ward, you get a true "turn-key" motor car ready
to be enjoyed. The body of the car is straight and the paint deep
in lustre and consistency. It was repainted some 10 years ago in
its original Royal Blue colour. It does have some minor blemishes
and marks but these are few and only show if one looks hard.
Otherwise it is very shiny without any fading, dents or dings.
Rubbers, mouldings, badges and external fittings are all in good
condition. The interior matching Everflex convertible top is like
new without any fading of the rear "glass". The interior on this
car is very nice and original in presentation. The leather shows
beautifully with the contrasting dark blue piping. The interior was
lightly redyed by us only because the very light colour was
starting to show crease lines in the leather. There were no tears,
rips or worn leather. They are super supple and soft. The door and
rear quarter wood was redone by Park-Ward and presents stunningly
as it is simply flawless and like new. The dash remains original
and does have some very minor hairline fractures in clear finish
which is not objectionable, as you can see in the photos. If you
are perfectionist, reach out to us and we can discuss refinishing
the dash as well but it really is quite lovely as is and we don't
consider it necessary. Carpets, seats, dash, console, fixtures and
fittings are truly excellent and I best encourage you to look at
all the photos to fully appreciate how nicely the interior
presents. The Ambassador blue carpets are a delightful finish to
the interior and we think what would look absolutely adorable would
be a factory set of matching lambs-wool mouton overlay rugs on top.
Again, please enquire. The car is of very high standard and is an
easy 10 out of 10 driver rating. She is indeed an exquisitely
beautiful example of the Corniche series in its stunning Royal blue
coach work and with only few, in this fine condition, remaining
these days.
