Rolls-Royce needs little introduction, with the brand itself often used as a superlative for the ultimate in anything and everything.

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.
