Lots on offer already include a stunning 1980 Rolls Royce Corniche in Caribbean Aqua Blue, with an estimate of £32,500-£36,500. The car has undergone over £25,00 of improvements whilst with the previous owner, who is the proprietor of a highly regarded Rolls Royce and Bentley Specialist, including a full engine rebuild and conversion to fuel injection designed specifically for the Corniche 6.75 litre V8 engine.
