The Corniche, available as coupé or convertible,[4]
used the standard Rolls-RoyceV8
engine with an aluminium-silicon alloy block and aluminium cylinder heads with cast iron wet cylinder liners. The bore was 4.1in (104.1mm) and the stroke was 3.9in (99.1mm) for a total of 6.75L (6,750cc/411cuin). Twin SUcarburettors
were initially fitted, but were replaced with a singleSolex
4A1 four-barrel carburetor introduced in 1977.[5]
Desmogged export models retained the twin SU's until 1980, whenBosch
fuel injection
was added.A three-speedautomatic transmission(aTurbo Hydramatic350 sourced fromGeneral Motors) was standard. A four-wheelindependent suspensionwithcoil springswas augmented with a hydraulic self-levelling system (using the same system as did Citroën, but without pneumatic springs, and with the hydraulic components built under licence by Rolls-Royce), at first on all four, but later on the rear wheels only. Four wheeldisc brakeswere specified, with ventilated discs added for 1972.............from my research there are not too many hardtop corniche available in the condition this one is in, running and driving condition..... Vin # is crb16782
