Bentley Corniche convertible? |
◊ 2007-03-24 22:01 |
No is a Rolls version,by nose believe a 1971 to 1977 Corniche series I |

Are you sure, DatsunZ? To me it really seems to be the rounded Bentley grill, not the edgy Rolls-Royce version... |

I tend to agree with DynaMike. I see a rounded Bently-style grill and what looks like a "B" hood ornament. |

Bentley T Drop Head Coupe H.J.Mulliner,Park Ward 1970-1971. In spite of the the Corniche badge on the boot lid. |

Although, if we look clearly, it has a Bentley Corniche style facia, and the Corniche reversing lamps. But, it has T series painted wheelcover trim rings. Too bad we don't have any close-up pictures of this car, as in any case, it is quite rare. |

It is rare, but I guess it had some added features to make it look like a Corniche, and I would assume it lost its Corniche wheeltrims at one time to get later (ventilated) wheeldiscs of the 1972 - 1974 period. I do not think these where ever fitted to the T series coachbuilt, as the Corniche was there in 1971 |

It must be a Bentley Corniche of the early 1970's. Robert is right as later features are sometimes added to older cars like these square door mirrors seen here, or probably or not, sometimes non-ventilated wheel discs to an younger time. But at least the ca 1973 dash and especially the reversing lights are definitivly from a Corniche. Of course one can always suspect that many changes could be have done, but...the reversings lights are normaly simply forgotten, so I am sure it's a Corniche and not a T1 MPW DHC. |

Well, we agree to disagree, huh |

And, if we look closely, we can see that it's an early Corniche in that it has the Moto Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel with black leather spokes which were on only the very first cars. |
