This is beautiful 1976 Rolls-Royce Corniche DHC with long-term
Arizona ownership and the past owner of 25 years. With only 32,600
miles accumulated since new and $28,000 in recent restoration
receipts, this would be a terrific example to drive and enjoy. We
love the two-tone blue color combination. We have this priced to be
an affordable Corniche. This Corniche was ordered new from Max of
Switzerland, the Rolls-Royce and Bentley dealer in Scottsdale as a
special order for Michael and Gertrude Dale. She was ordered on
December 12, 1975. The original MSRP was $67,705. The Dales were
based out of Valley Cottage, NY but they enjoyed a home in
Scottsdale. This Corniche remained in Scottsdale and after 12 year
she had accumulated a mere 3,816 miles. The Dales continued to
enjoy the Corniche until 25 years ago when she was acquired in
Scottsdale by Ronald and Jacqueline Greenwood from Waterbury, CT.
The Greenwoods were RROC members and invested significantly in her
maintenance and restoration. The livery is very nice in its
two-toned Silver Mink (Paint Code 9500691) over Seychelles Blue
(Paint Code 9510071) that is in good condition today with beautiful
shine and luster. Twin Silver Mink coachstripes compliment the
paint and its original Blue convertible top is in good original
condition. The chrome and stainless trim are all in very nice
condition as well, as further proof that this Rolls has been
garaged and cared for its entire life.A repaint was performed by
the Greenwoods and it is of driver quality overall with gorgeous
shine and luster but having small imperfections in certain areas.
The interior is also largely original and in good condition. The
Dark Blue leather (VM 5470) is complimented by Larkspur Blue piping
(VM 3471). The front seats have been completely rebuilt and the
leather replaced, which is in excellent condition. The rear seats
are original and have normal creases from age and use. The lighter
wood is very nice condition with only a few smaller cracks and some
lifting of the clear coat. Overall, the wood is very nice and most
likely original. The Dark Blue (Trim Code 5470) Wilton wool
carpeting is in very nice condition with its gorgeous lighter blue
sheepskin mouton overlays. The engine compartment is beautifully
detailed and looks nearly as new. The venerable 6.75-liter V8 runs
well, and all the major systems function well. With 32,000 miles,
this Corniche has been pampered and is in very nice condition. This
Corniche comes with its original owners handbooks and related
booklets, as well as its spare, tools and such. Also included in
the sale are the invoices for more recent restoration and service
invoices with RROC acclaimed engineers at JE Robison Service
totaling $28,000. This Corniche has benefitted from detailed
hydraulic servicing, co0ling system, air conditioning and brakes.
The NADA Value is $71,100. For more information and details, please
