Rolls Royce introduced the Corniche in 1971 and offered it as a drophead coupe (convertible) which would remain largely unchanged in the lineup through 1995. However, what many often aren’t aware of is that Rolls-Royce also quietly produced a fixed head coupe version of the Corniche that is even rarer than the coachbuilt convertible. Rolls-Royce built the coupe model through a ten year span from 1971 through 1981 only producing 1,108 units making it a highly collectible automobile by today’s standards.

This example marks an evolution as the Corniche received a mild restyling in the spring of 1977 that included rack-and-pinion steering, an aluminum radiator, oil cooler, bi-level air and more. Powered by a 6.75-liter V-8 engine which is paired to a three-speed automatic transmission; despite its weight the car could still achieve a 120 mph top speed, and a zero to 60 mph in less than ten seconds. The luxury is undeniable on this uncommon fixed head version. With a nice single shade finish this example presents beautifully with its original interior that features air conditioning as well with many luxuries that one would expect from a Rolls-Royce. The current owner purchased this car from the original owner and has had it regularly serviced throughout its lifetime by Rolls-Royce marque specialists at Scott Motors of Los Angeles, California, making it a well maintained example ready to be enjoyed.
