1981 Rolls-Royce Corniche Fixed Head Coupe

1981 Rolls-Royce Corniche Fixed Head Coupe, Registration 117 AMR, mileage 71,750 miles approx. A rare Series 500 Corniche (with Silver Spirit underpinnings) in the desirable colour scheme of Brewster Green with black hide upholstery and over rugs. It is also fitted with the desirable modifications of a main agent fitted Rolls-Royce handling kit and converted to twin SU carburettors replacing the problematic Solex carburettor. Purchased by the late Mr John Clough from a client of Jack Barclays in 1990 for £42,500 (original correspondence of sale included ). Like his other cars, it has been well maintained mostly by him under the supervision of a retired Rolls-Royce specialist and is in excellent condition. It has a custom-made inlaid box between the seats specially designed to hold a pipe and matches (the car does not smell of smoke). It is supplied with a V5, original handbook pack, old MOTs, related Jack Barclays and other paperwork and original tools. It has a fresh MOT until May 2024 but would benefit from a service and check over as it has had little use in recent times. The desirable private number plate 117 AMR (Aston Martin Racing perhaps) is being sold with the car and is transferable. The late Mr John Clough was true Rolls-Royce enthusiast having been Chairman of the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts Club and of The Sir Henry Royce Foundation. A man of considerable charm and aptitude he was very well respected and liked and the condition of his cars reflect his fondness for them. Over the years they have won numerous prizes and attended many rallies and tours which brought him and his family much pleasure. (Subject to 12% buyers premium inclusive of VAT). The car is in excellent overall condition and presents very well indeed and drives very well. The air conditioning needs re-charging.
