Selling a 1974 Rolls-Royce Corniche?

The Rolls-Royce Corniche is an exclusive two-door automobile. Rolls-Royce only manufactured around 4,300 Corniche units, making it substantially rarer than its counterpart, the Silver Shadow.

The Corniche is designed to be one of the most luxurious and top-performing automobiles on the market in the 1970s. Its powerful 6.75-liter V8 engine and spacious interior perfectly represent the top-notch engineering and comfort that is associated with this timeless British automobile manufacturer.

“I have owned and sold several classic old cars. I was looking for a buyer for my 1958 Silver Cloud I Rolls Royce. I had several people who looked at it, and of course made negative comments to knock down the price. When I talked to Alex, we arrived at a fair price within five minutes. The check arrived before I even had to send him the title. I only wish I had old European cars to sell to him. He and his staff are fantastic business people and I would highly recommend them anytime.”

“I first placed an ad in the classic car sales category. From this, I received a couple of “scams” wanting to make a deal in one day! As a retired CPA AND CFE, I knew I must be sure that I would be paid before the title and car was delivered to the buyer. When I contacted Mr. Manos, he put all my requests (certified check, documents, etc.) up front and made everything work in my favor so I would know that before I released the car, my funds would be secure and all paper work was complete. He has exceptional assistants from his office assistant, to his shipping. She told me the check would be delivered to me the next day by 4:30PM and I received it at 4:10! PJ told me the car would be picked up on Wednesday and there was a little hitch that the carrier could not handle the RR, but PJ got busy and had another carrier at my house within an hour. Although I hated to sell the car that I had owned over 30 years, I was glad that I contacted Mr. Manos and the transaction went as smooth as possible. Thanks for all you and your folks did to make this as easy as possible. God Bless.”
