Guide price: £0 - £0. <p> </p><ul><li>Elegant  ‘Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward’ two-door fixed head coupé </li><li>The indicated mileage is just over 70,000 </li><li>Smartly finished in Exeter Blue with grey hide, light grey Wilton carpets and a lovely 'Chippendale' wooden dashboard</li><li>Delivered new to Jersey and later enjoyed a period in the USA before returning to the UK in 2011</li><li>Lovely honest example and essentially original throughout, with its original radio and unused toolkit!</li></ul><p> </p><p>The title “Corniche” was applied by Rolls-Royce to all their two-door coupés from 1971 onwards, however, prior to that, two-door versions of the Silver Shadow had been marketed as the ‘Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward’ two-door fixed head coupé,  The model was assembled and finished in London at Mulliner Park Ward as a continuation of the 1965 Silver Shadow coupé. The very handsome coachwork design was by John Polwhele Blatchley and the car used the standard Rolls-Royce V8, 6230cc engine with an aluminium-silicon alloy block and aluminium cylinder heads with cast iron wet cylinder liners mated to a four-speed 'Hydramatic' transmission from General Motors. </p><div>Chassis CRH 2988 is a two-door FHC with the body built by H.J. Mulliner Park Ward smartly finished in Exeter Blue with grey hide, light grey Wilton carpets and a lovely 'Chippendale' wooden dashboard. It was delivered new to St. Helier, Jersey in Sept 1967 where it resided until 1976 when it was purchased by Air Vice-Marshall E.L.Colbeck-Welch. He enjoyed the car until 2003 when it left these shores bound for Washington, USA, before eventually returning to the UK in 2011.</div><p>The car is accompanied by a considerable history file with paperwork and invoices for regular maintenance and also copies of the original Rolls-Royce build sheets from 1967. The original handbooks are also present and the indicated mileage is just over 70,000 which looks credible with the vehicle's overall condition.</p><p>This is an honest example of these delightful cars and remains very original car throughout, even boasting its original radio and unused toolkit!</p><p>Genuine 1960's elegance for a reasonable guide price.</p><p> </p>
