SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 1982 Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible showing just 48,835 miles on the odometer at the time of this cataloging. Finished in black with a matching power-retractable top over a red leather interior, this Corniche is offered by the selling dealer with a toolkit, owner’s booklets, records, a clean CARFAX report, and a clear title.   

The Corniche I, first making its world debut in the early 1970s, quickly became a quintessential status symbol for its era. Assembled at Rolls-Royce’s Crew, England facility, it was reputed for being a hand-built luxury icon complete with Connolly leather, coachwork from Mulliner Park Ward, and generous woodgrain appointments.  

This low-mileage Corniche was manufactured in April 1982 and is accompanied by documentation back to the original point of sale. Its ownership history shows care and preservation, and the accident-free, damage-free CARFAX report highlights a great deal of maintenance that took place in recent years to ensure the car’s reliability and continued roadworthiness. The fluids, filters, brakes, power steering system, and suspension all received work from Morrie’s Luxury Auto in Minneapolis.

It's a well-sorted and beautifully-presented icon of luxurious British motoring with lasting prestige, strong documentation, and sound investment potential.

For bidders/buyers: We strive to provide clear and accurate auction listings, but the information should not be considered a complete assessment of any vehicle for sale. Prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to view vehicles in person, arrange independent inspections, and conduct their own due diligence to ensure the vehicle meets their requirements.

Descriptions, commentary, or observations are offered in good faith and represent general, non-expert impressions only. We do not verify or guarantee vehicle condition, mileage, or history, and this information should not be interpreted as a professional inspection or evaluation. Vehicles are not subjected to formal inspections unless explicitly stated. 

Vehicle videos are typically recorded with standard equipment, so audio quality may vary, and engine or exhaust sounds may differ from how they are perceived in person.

All vehicles are sold on a strictly “as-is, where-is” basis. No warranties apply, and bidders must satisfy themselves as to a vehicle’s condition and suitability prior to bidding. Bidders should note that SBX Cars provides information in good faith but cannot verify every detail of the vehicles; the responsibility for assessing condition and suitability rests with the buyer.  For more details, please refer to our FAQs.
