Today’s EVs and high-performance vehicles are all lovely to drive daily, but what about slowing down every now and then? Studies have shown that constantly being under stress is bad for you, what with all that cortisol coursing through your veins. What you need is a calm and relaxed weekend cruiser, and what better car than this 48,144-mile 1986 Rolls-Royce Corniche II from Hamilton, New Jersey? This luxury British drop-top grand tourer is perfect for taking things slow, even though with a massive V8 under the hood, it won’t hold up traffic. Having received some new parts, this car could be yours to cherish for years to come. Let’s take a deeper dive into what this old-school British luxury car offers.
Exterior and Interior
White is a great color for a Rolls-Royce such as this 1986 Rolls-Royce Corniche II because it allows the purist design and timeless lines to really shine through. Features such as the dual circular headlamps, imposing chrome radiator grille, and Spirit of Ecstasy hood mascot are all beautifully displayed against the white backdrop of the car. Meanwhile, this Rolls has has a white convertible soft top, which is, as you’d expect, power-operated, so you only need to extend a finger to operate the switch when you want it up or down. The new original-style interior of this 1986 Rolls-Royce Corniche II is as interesting as it gets. Forget today’s cars with their characterless touchscreens; this car has physical buttons and knobs, and plenty of them. You’ve also got quality wood trim, soft beige leather upholstery, and deep-pile red carpets to sink your feet into. Both front seats are power-adjustable, and there’s air conditioning that must blow cold thanks to the new AC compressor reported. Then, there’s a AM/FM radio cassette head unit with auto reverse and a five-band graphic equalizer as well. In the ’80s, these were premium, top-dollar features. You’ve also got cruise control, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a column-mounted shifter for the car’s automatic gearbox. One thing you don’t get is a tachometer, and that’s something you won’t find on today’s Rolls-Royces either. That’s because the automaker believes that its cars are meant to be driven smoothly rather than sportily.

The 80s saw a big change in the automotive world, and as customer preferences moved from an old-school analogue feel to new-age digital features, cars like the Rolls-Royce Corniche threw it back to the good old days of luxury and driver engagement.

With a reported 50,000 original miles on the clock, this classic beauty sports a host of factory features and is a luxury icon to this day.
From making turbojet engines for aircraft to handcrafted luxury vehicles, the Rolls-Royce brand needs no introduction. One of Rolls-Royce’s success stories was the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Corniche stands for a coastal road especially one which is along the face off the cliff. The Corniche is a two-door, RWD luxury car that was offered as a hardtop and a convertible. The first-generation Corniche was produced from 1971-1987, and our subject specimen is a 1985 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible aka Drophead with just 32,500 original miles on the clock
The Ghost has always occupied an interesting place in the Rolls-Royce lineup: less formal than the Phantom, but still every bit a proper Rolls-Royce in the way it delivers effortless power, craftsmanship, and presence. This 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost leans heavily into that character with just 6,005 miles and a particularly well-coordinated Bespoke specification. Midnight Sapphire paint is paired with a Charles Blue cabin, while Navy Blue monograms, piping, stitching, and steering wheel trim continue the blue theme throughout the interior. More importantly, this is not simply a color-driven build. Bespoke Interior Module Editing, Paldao veneer, veneered steering wheel spokes, picnic tables, lambswool footmats, a Starlight Headliner, and Rolls-Royce Premium Bespoke Audio give it the sort of individual specification enthusiasts and collectors tend to appreciate. It is a Ghost that feels properly commissioned rather than merely ordered from a catalog.
Few automobiles make an entrance quite like a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and this 2020 example delivers the kind of presence, craftsmanship, and rear-seat luxury that has made the Phantom one of the world’s benchmark ultra-luxury sedans. Showing approximately 24,000 miles, this example is finished in English White over an Arctic White interior, with black contrast seat piping adding just enough definition to the cabin. The specification is appropriately lavish, with features such as the Rear Theatre Configuration, Rolls-Royce Bespoke Audio System, The Gallery glass fascia, Dark Burr Walnut trim, 22-inch fully polished forged alloy wheels, and RR monograms on all headrests. It is the sort of car designed not simply to get you somewhere, but to make every mile feel like an occasion.
The 2017 Rolls-Royce Wraith represents the ultimate expression of Rolls-Royce’s grand touring philosophy, combining effortless V12 performance with bespoke craftsmanship and unmistakable presence. Built as the marque’s most powerful production model at the time, the Wraith blends a dramatic fastback silhouette with the handcrafted luxury expected from Goodwood. Finished in English White over a Creme Light interior, this example features an extensive collection of bespoke appointments, including the highly desirable Starlight Headliner, a signature Rolls-Royce option that recreates a hand-crafted celestial night sky through hundreds of individually placed fiber-optic lights. Showing 50,562 miles, this Wraith is further distinguished by RR monogrammed headrests, Lambswool floormats, Piano Black Veneer, Bespoke Audio, and 21-inch 7-Spoke Alloy Wheels.
The 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante blends elegant grand-touring design with the open-air character of a traditional British luxury convertible. Showing approximately 45,430 miles, this example is finished in Onyx Black Metallic over a striking Chancellor Red interior, creating a classic Aston Martin color combination with plenty of visual presence. A black convertible soft top, 19-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers, navigation, Linn premium audio, and walnut cabin trim round out a specification that balances performance, luxury, and long-distance touring appeal.
The 2010 BMW M5 is one of those cars that feels almost impossible by modern standards: a full-size four-door luxury sedan powered by a naturally aspirated V10 and sending its power to the rear wheels through a 7-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox. Showing approximately 115,170 miles, this Black Sapphire Metallic example captures everything that made the E60 M5 such an enthusiast icon. It combines genuine super-sedan performance with the comfort of Black Perforated Full Merino Leather, ventilated multi-contour front seats, soft-close doors, Head-Up Display, Comfort Access, and premium audio. Add the unmistakable 19-inch Style 166M wheels and you have a car that can blend quietly into executive traffic one moment and deliver the kind of high-revving V10 drama that few sedans before or since have ever matched.
The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur is the kind of luxury sedan that feels equally at home being driven hard or being enjoyed from the rear seat. Showing approximately 50,317 miles, this example pairs Bentley’s 6.0L twin-turbocharged W12 with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering the effortless performance expected from the marque. Finished in Beluga over a matching Beluga interior, it is further distinguished by the Mulliner Driving Specification, Naim premium audio, Multi Media Specification, rear-seat infotainment, and a long list of bespoke cabin details. With 21-inch polished two-piece alloy wheels, rich veneer trim, and a cabin designed around both craftsmanship and comfort, this Flying Spur offers the rare combination of grand-touring performance and limousine-grade luxury.
