I have a number of photographs of my Corniche III, which was the first Corniche III produced. It spent its early life as the Company demonstrator and is featured in quite a number of books on the Spirit/Spur era. Chassis number is ADL 30001. The car is currently registered as 20 TU, the same as when operating as the Company Demonstrator, except a Queensland registration plate. I will send photgraphs if you email me your address.

Andre Would you like photos of the rotten door mounts and faulty door lock mounts on Corniches. You could also address their propensity for rusting out the hood well and the difficulty of repairing the area. If this appeals perhaps you could include the myriad of design and build faults that are common to all Shadows including the possible failure of the Pitman arm in early cars? |
