Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible 6.75 V8 Automatic – 1972
A classic British grand tourer with the large 6.75-liter V8 engine and open body, being sold on behalf of a bankruptcy trustee.
Introduced as an exclusive open grand tourer, the Rolls-Royce Corniche became one of the marque's most iconic models. This example dates from 1972 and is equipped with the well-known 6.75-litre V8 engine and automatic transmission.
The car has chassis number DRX10508 and registration number NKX196 . The engine starts and runs. The carburetors have been overhauled and the car has four new tires and a new battery.
There are also a number of tasks for the new owner to undertake. The car has shown that it is leaking both engine oil and automatic transmission oil when parked. The brake system needs to be reviewed and the brakes are currently locked where the car is parked.
The car has probably been sitting idle for a long time. There is no service history listed and the car should therefore be considered a project rather than a ready-to-drive vehicle. The vehicle looks like it has been repainted at some point, according to the pictures there is scuffing on the convertible.
The exterior is two-tone and the car has a convertible body, which together with the large V8 engine gives it the typical character of a classic Rolls-Royce grand tourer.
