1973 Rolls-Royce Corniche
When this car was bought in 1979 by Bee Gees member Maurice Gibb for Au$61,000 it was already six years old with 30,000 miles on it.
It was three times the new price and remained in the Gibb family until 2012. Gibb nicknamed it “Rosie” and the registration “9829 MG” is included in the sale.
By the time of the 2012 sale the Roller had covered just 48,013 miles. Included with the sale is a signed declaration, and a note from a gent, confirming he used to wash the car for Mr Gibb!
It’s now on the block again, with Silverstone Auctions on August 27. Estimate is Au$170-199,000.
