1979 Bentley Corniche

£ 87,500

A really rare example of the Bentley Corniche FHC - one of the very last produced being under-pined with the Silver Spirit upgrades even though it wasn't at that time available and hence called the 5000 chassis series

make

key moments & facts

Only 6 Corniche's were built by Bentley and ours in the first to have been produced

First sold in the "good 'ol US of A" down in Calfornia to a University Lecturer finished in period brown with matching interior

As soon as the Bentley got back to London, another customer here, who was looking for the 'Holly Grail' 5000 series Corniche, immediately agreed to buy her for his home in Ibiza

Immediately before we sent her off to Ibiza we had given her a major service with carburettor overhaul, new accumulators, gearbox filter and brake system
