Selling a 1974 Rolls-Royce Corniche?

The Rolls-Royce Corniche is an exclusive two-door automobile. Rolls-Royce only manufactured around 4,300 Corniche units, making it substantially rarer than its counterpart, the Silver Shadow.

The Corniche is designed to be one of the most luxurious and top-performing automobiles on the market in the 1970s. Its powerful 6.75-liter V8 engine and spacious interior perfectly represent the top-notch engineering and comfort that is associated with this timeless British automobile manufacturer.

“Abraham was great to work with. Was very impressed with him & the entire team. Everyone was very knowledgeable and professional, prompt on all follow up. They did everything they said they were going to do. The location & logistics involved with selling our car were more complicated than most. We are located in California & the vehicle was in a rural area of upstate New York. They were a huge help on guiding us thru some issues on the title transfer. Was also very impressed with their pick up of the car – they used a questionnaire asking about location, access, condition of the car, etc. to anticipate any unexpected surprises. They were all a pleasure to deal with & I would highly recommend them.”

“Alex, I was hesitant when I found your site and you were so quick to respond. The fact that you would buy my ’64 RR Silver Cloud sight unseen was a little astonishing to me. The price we finally came to seemed fair and I kept expecting a hitch. Your driver, Filipe?, was right on time, had all the paperwork needed and was courteous and knowledgeable. It was a good experience all around. Sam.”
