Pedigree Motorcars is proud to offer this beautiful 1978 Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible. For information and details contact Ken Baker via phone or text at 561-866-1601.

Originally sold new to long term owner, Mr. Barney Ebsworth of St. Louis, Missouri, through Charles Schmitt & Co. It was Mr. Ebsworth's forth Rolls-Royce/Bentley in a 10 year period. The Corniche had an MSRP of $110,432 and was ordered on February 9, 1978. It was beautifully spec'd with Masons Black paint, a tan leather interior, tan top, and deep fawn carpets. It left the factory in December, 1978.

This Corniche is as stunning today as it was when it was new. Having passed through the hands of a couple of different owners, its previous owner had it for approx 10 years.

This Corniche is now turn key and ready for its new owner drive and enjoy. With the exception of the cruise control, everything in this Corniche works as it should.

At some point throughout its life it had a high quality repaint. It is an older repaint so it's not without flaw. In addition, the previous owner had removed the 8 track system in its place is a beautiful velvet line compartment that is the perfect size to store sunglasses or a cell phone. Also, a beautiful veneered storage compartment/cup holder was custom built for the center console. Its previous owner also installed a remote door locks that work perfectly.

This Corniche is not only stunning to look at, but it's a beautiful example to drive. We have driven it over 200 miles and it has been an absolute delight. Upon the twist of the key, the 6.75 lite V8 fires to life immediately. Its drives so smoothly the idle is barley perceptible. The AC blows cold and the engine temp is always where it should.

The paint is beautiful, the body is straight and there is no rust. The tan convertible top is especially impressive. It has a perfectly clear back window and the deep fawn headliner is in impressive condition.
