1980 ROLLS ROYCE CORNICHE

A superb example of the Corniche FHC 5000 series, with fantastic supporting provenance and history with correspondence dating back to when the car was new. Originally supplied in late 1980 by Heron Motor Group, Halesowen with its original Heron supplying dealer registration plates still present. Stayed in the initial company director owners hands for 19 years before passing into his lawyers ownership for the next 25 years. This car has been meticulously well kept, with all small and large factory supplied tools present as are all factory books and pull-outs including the original service book and a further 2 continuation service books. Servicing has always been RR main dealer or RR specialist, with comprehensive invoicing to accompany running right back to the beginning. The cars interior is as lightly used and unmarked as you are likely to see. As the car was originally finished Masons Black over Tudor Red, the decision was taken to strip the car down, glass out and refinish completely in Masons Black in 2024. The car having been carefully stored and garaged, it has never suffered from sun bleaching or dampness, and still retains that factory fresh Connolly hide aroma that is often lost in less well cared for examples. As a result of regular servicing and maintenance, the underside is superb, dry and corrosion free. The drive is super tight and smooth. Corniches were designed to glide, and this example does just that with no scuttle shake being a FHC. This car ticks all the boxes being low ownership, low mileage, properly maintained with superb history on top of being a genuinely well kept unspoilt example. Rare being a late 5000 series. May P/X (Registration excluded)
