Rolls-Royce Corniche

• Believed-genuine 27,000 miles from new
• Regal Red over Tan hide with Beige carpets and Red lambswool rugs
• Rare early-spec with ventilated disc brakes and chrome bumpers (1971–1974 only)
• Power-operated tan Mohair hood with matching tonneau cover
• Subtle Bluetooth integration with original audio system
• Previously part of a private West Country Rolls-Royce collection
• A solid, well-preserved example suited to driving and casual events
• Increasingly hard to find in honest, usable condition

This 1973 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible offers a refreshingly usable and well-kept example of one of the marque’s most recognisable convertibles. Finished in Regal Red with a Tan hide interior, it’s believed to have covered just 27,000 miles from new – a low and likely genuine mileage that’s reflected in its overall presentation.

It’s not a concours car, and it doesn’t pretend to be. What it offers instead is a charming, honest feel – the kind of car you can comfortably enjoy without worrying about perfection. The paint and trim present well for their age, and the colour combination feels right at home on a Corniche of this era.

This is one of the more desirable early models, built during the short production window when Rolls-Royce fitted chrome bumpers and ventilated disc brakes – a detail that sets it apart from later examples. The tan Mohair power-operated roof functions correctly and comes with a matching tonneau cover for neat stowage.

Inside, you’ll find Burr Walnut veneers, beige carpets, and the original audio system – now quietly upgraded with Bluetooth, so you can enjoy modern convenience without compromising the cabin’s period look.

This Corniche has previously lived in a private collection in the West Country and clearly benefitted from careful, considered ownership. While it’s not concours-perfect, it’s exactly the sort of car you’d want for long weekends, relaxed touring, or simply enjoying the Rolls-Royce experience without the pressure of preserving a show queen. Examples in honest condition with this specification are getting harder to come by.
