Perception is a truly wonderous thing. Merely mention ‘exotic car’, and a multitude of brands come to mind. But mention ‘ultimate luxury car’ and two brands come to mind. One is Rolls-Royce. Over the years the Rolls-Royce brand has stood for one thing, to be the best in terms of pinnacle automobiles that make a statement. Mulliner Park Ward, a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce and the ones responsible for almost all of Rolls-Royce’s iconic designs ensured that each owner felt special and stood out from the rest. Celebrities, wealthy and popular personalities, even Dictators choose to roll about in a Rolls-Royce, driving or being driven in one. Why not cruise around in class and style with this 1988 Rolls-Royce Corniche II Convertible that could be yours. This Florida-based car is reported to have been sold new in the USA and the current owner has enjoyed it since 1990. This clean and fine example of British engineering and luxury comes with just 33,360 miles reported and has been maintained by a Rolls-Royce dealer in Florida. A majority of the service records are included for further peace of mind.
The Rolls-Royce Corniche sported a timeless and iconic design. Iconic to the point that James May of ‘Top Gear’ and ‘The Grand Tour’ fame had one in his personal collection. Whilst James owned a red, two-door coupe, this 1988 Rolls-Royce Corniche II Convertible sports a white exterior and tan convertible hood which sure bring out that Rolls Royce personality better. Sitting neatly on original Rolls-Royce hub caps, this car is reported to have all its original equipment in place. The interior is typical Rolls-Royce fashion, the best in luxury and comfort with no compromises. A tan color scheme with wood finish is the order of the day and is in amazing condition, right down to the original Lambswool floor mats. In case top-down motoring leaves you feeling warm, you could retract the convertible hood and chill yourself with the original factory bi-level air conditioning whilst listening to some tunes on the period radio/cassette sound system. Find your most comfortable position with the electrically-adjustable seats that offer a memory function as well. Also included in the sale is the original cell phone in the car, original bar set and original leather boot.
Gentlemanly status with a smooth and silky ride are essential traits for a Rolls-Royce, and in the past, the company would not publicly declare the output of its engines, merely stating them to be ‘sufficient’. With their iconic 6.75 liter V8, it was definitely sufficient, and that’s the powerplant that this 1988 Rolls-Royce Corniche II Convertible packs under its long hood, sending drive to the rear wheels via a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic gearbox. Power figures were estimated to be around 237hp, as the emphasis was on low-end torque.

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.
