This 1980 Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible is finished in Silver Sand and Walnut over tan leather upholstery and is powered by a 6.75-liter V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a power-operated tan soft top, a matching top boot, 15″ steel wheels with polished hubcaps and trim rings, power-adjustable front seats, power windows, automatic climate control, woodgrain trim, and an Alpine CD stereo. The seller purchased the car in 2008 and has since added approximately 800 of the 39k miles shown. This Corniche convertible is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, service records, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Silver Sand and Walnut and features a stainless-steel Doric-inspired grille with a Spirit of Ecstasy ornament as well as a power-operated tan soft top, a matching top boot, fog lights, and quad round headlights. The seller notes rippling paint on the trunk lid, and paint checking is shown up close in the gallery. The passenger door was adjusted in 2017.
The 15″ steel wheels feature polished trim rings and hubcaps, and they are mounted with 235/70 Goodyear Eagle GT+4 tires. Factory equipment includes a four-wheel independent suspension with coil springs, anti-roll bars, telescopic dampers, and a hydraulic self-leveling system. Stopping power is provided by disc brakes at all four corners.
The front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in tan leather, while burl wood trim accents the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Interior appointments include an Alpine stereo, sheepskin floor covering, power windows, and automatic climate control. There is wear on the seats and cracks on the woodgrain trim. The air conditioning is inoperative and the left front window does not close completely.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames an 85-mph speedometer alongside a warning lamp panel and a combination gauge for amperage, coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 39k miles, approximately 800 of which were added under current ownership.
The 6.75-liter V8 features an aluminum-silicon alloy block and aluminum cylinder heads. The battery was replaced and the carburetor rebuilt in 2017.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. A recall involving the catalytic converter was reportedly addressed under current ownership.
