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.
When dealing with a car possessing such grandeur, you need the right exterior color. With this 1985 Rolls Royce Corniche Drophead Coupe and its two-tone exterior, you got grandeur and more. The car sports a light green exterior with the lower portion of the car painted in black; the seller reports that the car was originally grey in color. The convertible top is finished off in black, with the rubber being replaced as well; the convertible top matches the exterior color, and the factory hubcaps present on the car. The seller reports that all four tires have been replaced recently with only 300 miles run since fitment. The beige interior on this 1985 Rolls Royce Corniche Drophead Coupe is where all the luxury and class lie. Hugging you and your passengers as your cruise along is leather seats in excellent condition. The car sports all its original interior trim, with the seller reporting minor cracks on the woodgrain dash. Other luxury features include power windows.
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.

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.
