1978 'S' Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible, DRG31230, Left Hand Drive, ex
California
A good
example which benefits from extensive recent expenditure with both
mechanical and cosmetic work having been carried out with invoices for
£9671.00 recently spent.
The car has covered 43,000 miles and has a good service record since it
was brought back to the UK in 2019, the most recent invoice for mechanical
work carried out at marque specialists Bowling Ryan in the amount of
£2,200 with only a couple of hundred miles covered
since. Further invoices include 4 new Avon Turbospeed narrow band

respectively, and cosmetic renovation in the amount of £4,250. Together with the vehicle we have
full build history from the factory, old MOT's etc.

tan hide with dark brown top roll and knee roll, with options to include a
bar in the driver's door !
The car presents well reflecting the recent expenditure and is a real pleasure to waft along the country lanes in the
sunshine with the roof down. Currently fitted with a period Nardi steering
wheel with invoice for £765. It is clear the owner has spent a lot of
money looking after this car since it's arrival in the UK, although the
car could be further improved over time by an enthusiastic owner which
would add value to this most desirable Rolls Royce model.

troublesome ECU's of the later cars, split level climate control, electric windows front and rear, electric convertible roof, electric
