1983 Rolls Royce Corniche. This is a really nice, only 36,112 true miles, factory original, garage kept, Rolls-Royce dealer serviced, 1983 Rolls-Royce Corniche I Drop Head Coupe that shows, runs and drives great! I'd say overall this Corniche is a solid 9 out of 10 and is a reliable daily driver... I have yet to polish out the inside of the convertible top plastic rear window as its been neglected.

For a few hundred dollars it can be replaced...As you can order a zipper in and out replacement...My thoughts are if I keep the Corniche, this Spring I'll replace the original factory 'black' top with a new 'red' one to accent the red pin strip and red interior piping. Keep in mind: The mechanical and electrical systems in this Corniche are not complex and not computer controlled requiring dealership only service... Any 'old school' mechanically inclined person should be able to maintain and service this Corniche! I'm including a new Rolls-Royce WORKSHOP MANUAL which details most everything one should know to maintain this Corniche as Rolls-Royce intended. 2024 Inspection Report indicating nothing more then a couple dozen minor paint scratches that polished out.

Confirming the Corniche was received by the previous Owner in sound condition. The Corniche I, was available as coupé or convertible, used the standard Rolls-Royce V8 engine with an aluminum-silicon alloy block and aluminum cylinder heads with cast iron wet cylinder liners. The bore was 4.1 in (104.1 mm) and the stroke was 3.9 in (99.1 mm) for a total of 6.75 L (6,750 cc/411 cu in).

Twin SU carburetors were initially fitted, but were replaced with a single Solex 4A1 four-barrel carburetor introduced in 1977. De-smoged export models retained the twin SUs until 1980, when Bosch fuel injection was added. A three-speed automatic transmission (a Turbo Hydramatic 400 sourced from General Motors) was standard.

A four-wheel independent suspension with coil springs was augmented with a hydraulic self-levelling system
