Arguably the ultimate 1970s and 1980s status symbol of wealth and success, the Rolls-Royce Corniche was a car sought after by many, but one only the fortunate few could afford. Designed and intended to be enjoyed by their lucky owners in warm-weather climates, each Corniche took four months to be hand-built, with two weeks spent on the convertible top alone. With a list price of well over $100,000, each car utilized only the finest materials Britain had to offer, including Wilton wool carpeting, Connolly leather, and carefully selected Burl Walnut Veneer. First introduced in 1971, the Corniche remained in production for nearly 25 years, and over this time, these cars were periodically updated to keep them both modern and relevant. The Corniche II, the model’s first major revision, was introduced in 1977 and included new rack-and-pinion steering, alloy, and rubber bumpers which replaced the earlier chrome bumpers, along with an oil cooler, aluminum radiator, and bi-level air conditioning system. 

1982 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible featured here is finished in stunning factory correct color combination of Porcelain White over original Tan Connolly leather interior and White power-folding convertible top. This magnificent example was just released from its one and only owner, a prominent Rolls-Royce collector. Having been in a collection since new, this incredible motorcar is among one of the nicest examples we have seen in years, fitted with nearly every conceivable option including climate control air conditioning. An opportunity to acquire a one owner Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible seldom presents itself; we are pleased to offer what we believe to be an exceptional motorcar, an investment price for the most astute collector investor or enthusiast who understands and appreciates this up-and-coming classic.  For all of you who are not familiar, Rolls-Royce no longer exists as it has for the past hundred years; it is now owned by BMW and models are being mass-produced. The days of cars being handcrafted by artisans in Crewe are now just a fond memory. This particular car was built at a time when Rolls-Royce was truly building the world’s finest motorcars with the care and craftsmanship evident in every detail.
