A lovely example of one of the most beautiful post-war Rolls-Royce
convertibles ever made. This is a pre-Corniche example. The first
convertibles of this series were known as a "Rolls-Royce Silver
Shadow Drop Head Coupe by HJ Mulliner Park-Ward", often abbreviated
to simply a Rolls-Royce DHC. The Corniche name was adopted in March
1971. This is a Right-hand drive example finished in Shell grey
(silver) with light grey Connolly hides. The single coach-line is
matched to the dark blue convertible top for that handsome touch. A
very desirable and mature colour of the era and not often seen here
in the US US. The DHC design with its signature rear quarter
"hip-line" is unquestionably one of the most elegant of coach-work
designs provided by Rolls-Royce's coach-builder - Mulliner
Park-Ward. It has tested the time for elegance and style enduring
no less than 30 years in production (1966-1996). This being a 1967
model with the early style full chrome bumpers combined with their
lower poise and swooping rear wheel arches, really make for a
handsome motorcar and present amongst the best of Mulliner
Park-Ward's offerings. This is a good clean example that has been
nicely maintained and presents in fine condition. She was very
recently fully work-shop serviced for its previous owner by
Park-Ward Motors with receipts totalling some $22,000 (these are
available for review). This included all the hydraulics and brakes;
new hydraulic pumps, accumulators & valves rebuilt, all new rotors,
calipers, hoses with reservoir overhauled. It is ready to drive and
enjoy. It is very quiet and smooth on the road without any of the
typical "thumps" and "rattles" typical of poor (or even averagely)
maintained examples of this model. The interior is in very decent
shape although not perfect but quite nice for driver use. The front
seats show a little more age than one might hope for with a couple
of small tears. (These leather panels can be replaced). The burr
walnut wood throughout the car is incredibly nice appearing to have
been refinished in the last 10 years or so. The photos show how
beautifully they present with a deep rich ochre grain that only
Mother Nature can provide. The convertible top is about 10
years-new and presents very nicely. The outside canvas top is great
and the clear plastic rear window perfectly clear. Unfortunately,
the internal head-liner seems to have provided late night snacks to
the local moth family (see pics). This internal headliner can be
replaced without the rest of the top so please feel free to
enquire. The carpets with leather binding are also poor but are
currently overlayed with factory moutons that present well. Again,
feel free to enquire should you want us to fit new carpeting. It is
not hard for us to do and in keeping with factory materials and
finish. The boot (trunk) carpet is in "acceptable" condition. The
body on this DHC is very true and the paint is shiny and lustrous.
The finish is a result of a complete high-end repaint of some 20
years ago. It presents wonderfully. There are some little
imperfections here and there but really only mentioned out of our
commitment to open disclosure. Rest assured the paint presents in
real-life as you see in the photos. When you look down the sides of
the car, they are very straight. The car has new whitewall tyres
fitted with plenty of tread and the hubcaps are excellent with no
imperfections in the stainless rings or caps. All remaining
bright-work is in good condition. All electrics and operational
features were fully gone through as part of the above-mentioned
service receipts so all windows work, seats, roof, wipers,
instruments, heater, AC, right down to the smallest and
insignificant dash and courtesy light. Even the clock keeps good
time! Under the bonnet, the presentation is clean and tidy with all
the signs of a well maintained example. As you would expect, this
DHC comes with its original jack, correct tools and operating
manual.
