It was in 2022 that Andre Trigano acquired this sumptuous Corniche at an auction, in memory of his Phantom V which once belonged to Charles Aznavour and his Silver Spur with an ex-Marcel Dassault separation. In “Porcelain White” colour with midnight blue leather interior and piping matching the bodywork colour, this example was produced for the North American market. This car is in original condition and was repainted while still assembled when it was purchased in 2022. It is in sound condition overall and we note the presence of a series 2 bumpers, as well as a 3rd brake light on the rear boot. The upholstery is patinated but not torn, it will need to be cleaned and treated to be preserved in good condition. Inside, in addition to the usual equipment, there is a modern Pioneer car radio, as well as a Nardi accessory steering wheel. The museum team confirmed to us that the braking system has been revised when the car arrived; Tyres date from 2014 and show less than 15% wear. There is also a jack in the boot. Functional and in used condition, this elegant convertible deserves a complete overhaul before fully enjoying its elegance and exceptional comfort.

 

Please note all vehicles in this collection have barely been used in recent years, they are therefore sold as is, with no technical inspection; They will also need a major service before getting back on the road.
