The Corniche name dates back to 1939 when a prototype was created based on the Bentley Mark V. Unfortunately, the car was never produced due to the onset of the first world war. The Corniche nameplate finally made its debut in 1971, in the form of a two-door, front-engine luxury car that was to appeal to rich and daring. This 1986 Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible has reportedly been well looked after since day one of its purchase and is currently for sale in Florida, with no more than 37k miles on the clock.
The Corniche was a hefty two-door sports car, with an emphasis on luxury around the exterior that includes a massive front grille, quad headlights, a flashy chrome bumper up front, and the iconic "Spirit of Ecstasy. This recently-serviced Rolls Royce has a fully-functional beige soft top with frameless windows and a chrome body line that extends all the way to the rear fins of the car. The Interior is primarily beige, with fine wood varnish panels that give it a two-tone look. This 1986 Corniche has plush beige leather seats with black trim, matching door panels, a headliner, and a dashboard with wooden accents that stretch to the doors and the center console. You will also observe hints of chrome glimmering in various places inside the cabin
The engine under the long hood of the Corniche tucks away its 6.75L (famously six and three-quarter) V8 with twin SU carburetors that have been mated with a 3-speed automatic transmission. When new, the car was rated to produce up to 218 hp and achieve a top speed of just over 125 mph.
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.
Rolls-Royce needs little introduction, with the brand itself often used as a superlative for the ultimate in anything and everything. Up for sale is an example of one of the brand's most iconic models, from an era where coach-built vehicles were recognized as a bespoke testament to style and class. This Corniche convertible left Rolls-Royce's Cheshire, UK factory in December 1985. This example requires some loving recommissioning to bring it back to its former glory but appears to present a solid basis with low mileage, having run just 41,000 miles over the past three decades.
In the realm of automotive luxury, few names resonate as profoundly as Rolls-Royce, a marque synonymous with unparalleled craftsmanship and elegance since its inception in 1904. The Rolls-Royce Ghost, unveiled in 2009 as a slightly more accessible option beneath the illustrious Phantom, epitomizes the brand's commitment to excellence. The introduction of the extended wheelbase (EWB) variant in 2011 further accentuated the Ghost's appeal, offering enhanced rear passenger comfort through additional legroom. This 2012 Rolls-Royce Ghost EWB Black Badge edition, with 46,000 miles logged, represents a rare and coveted iteration of the luxury sedan
The automotive world is filled with surprises, with each manufacturer trying to keep up with ever-changing customer tastes and trends. One segment that has witnessed massive growth in recent times is the SUV market. When news broke that Rolls Royce was set to release an all-new SUV, it was clear that a new icon was about to be born. Present here is a perfect example of this genre-breaking car: a 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan. With a reported 20,100 miles on the clock, this ultra-luxury SUV is built for cruising in style and class and can be yours today!
For those who demand the epitome of luxury cruising, the 2016 Rolls-Royce Phantom emerges as the undisputed MVP. Unveiled in 2004, its iconic appearance remains largely unchanged, with the steadfast V12 engine continuing to deliver exceptional performance. In the realm of executive sedans, the Phantom stands alone, offering unparalleled opulence, style, and road dominance. The featured 2016 Rolls-Royce Phantom, boasting a mere 11,500 miles on the odometer, elevates the high life experience even further, accompanied by three sets of keys, an RR Charger, books, and a car cover.
