Comments from the dealer
1979 ROLLS ROYCE CORNICHE TWO DOOR SALOON - AUTO
Presenting in Pale Yellow with Champagne leather interior trim.
This particular car was delivered new to it's first owner in Adelaide by United Motors of Franklin Street Adelaide (Adelaide's Roll Royce dealer at the time) on the 28th of September 1979.
We hold a large folder of paperwork and the original books relating to the delivery into Adelaide and it's early life in South Australia.
We also have another large folder which indicates it has received attention in both Victoria and NSW also now the current attention in Adelaide.
Most recent service completed on the 1st of July 2026 showing 140,782 kms.
Powered by 6.75 Litre V8 engine, it produced when new 126.5Kw and 500Nm of power and torque, delivered to the rear wheels via a 3 speed auto transmission. Performance for a Rolls Royce is not measured in time as such, but how luxuriously you proceed.
However, you might like to know 0-100kph time is suggested at 13.6 secs and top speed near 180kph.
If you like classic elegance and style in large quantities, this Corniche would serve as a great vehicle to enjoy.
Currently on Historic registration in SA, this is not transferable, however it would be eligible for similar schemes in other jurisdictions, equating to minimal on road costs.
Available to inspect on our state of the art showroom floor in Adelaide.
We can arrange transport door to door Australia wide.
Finance - our broker offers VERY competitive rates and prompt service.
We welcome the opportunity to consider your trade in.
