1971 Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible

The Rolls-Royce Corniche is a two-door, front-engine, rear wheel drive luxury automobile produced by RR.

The Corniche, available as coupé or convertible, used the standard Rolls-Royce V8 engine with an aluminium -silicon alloy block and aluminium cylinder heads with cast iron wet cylinder liners. The bore was 4.1 in (104.1 mm) and the stroke was 3.9 in (99.1 mm) for a total of 6.75 L (6,750 cc/411 cuin). Twin SU carburettors were initially fitted, but were replaced with a single Solex 4A1 four-barrel carburetor introduced in 1977.[ De-smogged export models retained the twin SUs until 1980, when Bosch fuel injection was added. A three-speed automatic transmission (a Turbo Hydramatic 400 sourced from General Motors) was standard.
