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.

Engine
The Rolls Royce Corniche was not a small car; factor in all the luxury and trim it was not light either. There was a solution, and that’s with the legendary L series engine. The L series was perfect as it has proven to be a reliable powertrain since 1959 in multiple models and was retired just two years ago with the Bentley Mulsanne. Powering this 1985 Rolls Royce Corniche Drophead Coupe is the legendary and mighty 6.75 L V8 L series engine. When new, the car could push out 220hp, but you don't need much performance when on a Sunday cruise, and these engines are tuned for low-down torque rather than high-end power. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic gearbox. The seller reports that the car has new belts and new hoses installed.
