Every now and then, we at ECT are tasked to handle the sale of a car that’s been owned by a star. That’s a right royal honor to us, and today’s car is one that comes with documented proof that the first owner of this 1976 Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe was none other than Cassius Clay Jr, popularly known as Muhammad Ali. When the world’s greatest boxer wasn’t floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee, it seems he liked to roll around in a car from one of the world’s greatest luxury automakers. This 1976 Corniche is from the Corniche II generation, and it wears 73,776 miles on its stately wheels. The seller says that it’s currently used for special occasions and charity events, and he has photos and documentation to validate its special history, as it’s considered a Muhammad Ali collectible. The car is said to have undergone an older restoration, and has received some recent maintenance.
While you have many manufacturers catering to the luxury segment of car buyers today, back in the Eighties, it was a different scene. Rolls Royce and their Corniche were front runners in the luxury car scene and wowed car buyers for 24 years. It was named after coastal roads in France, and even the name sparked a perception of luxury and class. Take a look at this 1985 Rolls Royce Corniche Drophead Coupe, for instance, with a reported 49,600 miles on the clock; this is Eighties luxury and class in all its glory.
Even the world’s best luxury automaker, Rolls-Royce, wasn’t immune from the SUV tsunami that gripped the automotive world. However, when you’re sitting at the top of the hierarchy of luxury, you’ve got to give it your best – and then some. That’s why Rolls-Royce took their own sweet time, only entering the luxury SUV game in 2018 with the Cullinan. Named after the largest rough diamond ever discovered to date, the Cullinan is the brand’s first SUV, and their first all-wheel drive vehicle. And as you’d expect, it’s every bit a Rolls-Royce. Don’t believe us? Buy this 2021 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge with a smidge less than 20,000 miles on the clock, and you’ll never settle for anything less.
Rolls-Royce is the ultimate aspirational point for most people, regardless of their level of knowledge about cars. The brand name gets entrenched in the minds of small children as the best luxury car in the world. Then, they see the iconic logo and Spirit of Ecstasy radiator grille mascot, and soon learn to recognize it. The best part is, it’s not marketing flattery and fluff. Rolls-Royce enjoys such reverence because they make exceptional cars. They go to great lengths to satisfy owners, with myriad customization avenues available. They were one of the last automakers in the world to stubbornly cling on to traditional coachbuilding techniques, long after many others had shifted to mass production and automated manufacturing. That’s why when you buy a car such as this 1971 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, you’re buying a legacy, a piece of history, and something truly amazing. This car comes with a few enhancements, but retains its Rolls-Royce spirit, something that’s truly inimitable.
Rolls-Royce is well known to be the most luxurious automaker in the world. With a rich history spanning over a decade, the Silver Spirit is one of their best-known icons of the Eighties and Nineties. This was the first Rolls-Royce to feature a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy hood mascot. The spring-loaded mascot would swiftly disappear into the grille if tampered with. Hence, Rolls-Royce owners could now rest easy in the knowledge that souvenir hunters and jealous punters couldn’t get their hands on one of the car’s most desirable aspects. That’s just one of many reasons of why you should consider taking on ownership of this 1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit. The car comes with a reportedly original mileage of just 62,100, and has received some new parts to keep it humming along smoothly.
With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
