This is one of just six Bentley Corniche Fixed Head Coupés built in 1979, making it among the rarest postwar Bentleys ever produced. Finished in its original paint, the car shows signs of age with bubbling in areas, but remains structurally solid and refreshingly unmolested. The chrome is mostly very presentable, with minor imperfections consistent with age.

Inside, the original interior is in good condition — showing light patina throughout — and retains its classic charm with wood veneer and leather trim intact. The car has been in storage since its most recent MOT in April 2024, where it passed with only a minor exhaust blow advisory. The engine starts with a jump, though the battery now requires replacement.

With matching numbers and documented V5 ownership showing 5 former keepers, this is a unique opportunity to acquire one of the most exclusive iterations of the Corniche line. Whether sympathetically restored or kept as an original survivor, CBH50094 is a piece of Bentley history.
