1967 Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe by Mulliner Park Ward - Blue - 97,781 Miles - 6.2L V8 Automatic
Overview
The 1967 Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe by Mulliner Park Ward represents one of the finest expressions of British luxury and coachbuilt craftsmanship. Built by the renowned Mulliner Park Ward coachworks and Australian delivered when new, this elegant two-door grand touring coupe embodies the pinnacle of Rolls-Royce engineering and exclusivity during the late 1960s. Combining graceful styling with handcrafted luxury, the Corniche was designed for discerning owners seeking effortless performance and understated prestige. Powered by Rolls-Royce's legendary 6.2-litre V8 engine paired with a smooth automatic transmission, the Corniche delivered the refinement and silence for which the marque became world-famous.
Finished in blue, this Australian-delivered example presents with timeless elegance. The paint retains good gloss and depth across the bodywork, while the iconic Pantheon grille and Spirit of Ecstasy mascot command attention from every angle. The coachbuilt body by Mulliner Park Ward displays the elegant proportions and flowing lines that have made these cars highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Chrome trim and brightwork complement the stately appearance, while period-correct wheels and whitewall tyres complete the classic presentation.
The interior reflects the extraordinary craftsmanship synonymous with Rolls-Royce. Rich grey leather upholstery, beautifully finished timber veneers and traditional instrumentation create an environment that remains as impressive today as when it left Crewe. The leather seating displays the patina expected of a well-preserved example, while the timber veneers throughout the cabin, excluding the dashboard, have been professionally refinished by a Rolls-Royce restoration specialist. The dashboard itself remains original, preserving the car's authenticity. The odometer indicates 97,781 miles, representing genuine use over the vehicle's lifetime rather than long-term static storage.
Mechanically, the Corniche is powered by the renowned 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine, delivering effortless performance and near-silent cruising. Paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel-drive layout, it provides the refined motoring experience that established Rolls-Royce as the benchmark of luxury. Genuine Australian-delivered examples of Mulliner Park Ward-bodied Corniches are exceptionally rare, making this vehicle a significant opportunity for collectors seeking one of Britain's most elegant and exclusive grand tourers.
