Found! Rare Rolls-Royce Corniche Interior | Classic Obsession | Episode 65
Back home Gary is excited to get back to work on his red 1983 Rolls-Royce Corniche because amazingly he has found it a beautiful interior. Seats, panels, centre console - the lot! So with that in place he sets about work rebuilding the car's breaking system (see part details below). Plus, he has a problem with his black 1975 Rolls-Royce Corniche's damaged spark plug thread which requires him to perform a helicoil.

    Hi Gary - I like the idea of changing the colour to grey. For some reason I thought red didn't suit the Corniche. I own a 'Titan Grey' Saab with the excellent colour code '303' (the Airfix boy in me appreciated that no.! It was also the number Eric Carlsson used on his Saab 96 sometimes) if you want to take a look as it's one of the nicest 'greys' I've come across. Great result with the seats too! As a matter of interest, will you be re-colouring the red piping? I think the seats would look a lot better with a dark grey piping! I look forward to seeing what you come up with! Cheers!

    • @classic.obsession
