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
Exterior and Interior
The exterior is painted in a regal Rolls-Royce white with a matching beige interior, a relatively rare color combination. It sits on a set of OEM Rolls-Royce wheels with new tires and brakes. The interior is embellished with wood grain trim. The windshield has been replaced with a new one imported from the UK. The convertible top motor has also been replaced with a new unit. The car has recently undergone a service by a Rolls-Royce Specialist, with a recent oil change. A new steering rack and pinion have also been installed. As desirable now as it was 35 years ago, this rare-color combination Corniche’s low mileage and exquisite condition make it quite a catch
Engine
Rolls-Royce long-serving and reliable L410 6.75L V8 engine powers the Corniche’s rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic. The engine produces 237bhp and is enough for a rated top speed of 118mph. Four-wheel independent suspension with coil springs, ventilated disc brakes and Bosch KE/K-Jetronic fuel injection are some upgrades that this Corniche carries over earlier examples.

The Rolls-Royce Dawn is not a convertible in the ordinary sense—it is an open-air grand tourer built to make every drive feel like an event. This 2019 Dawn shows just 9,773 miles and is finished in dramatic Black Diamond with a black soft top, Mugello Red coachline, and a boldly commissioned Mugello Red/Ivory leather interior. With its bespoke color treatment, twin-turbo V12, and unmistakable presence, this is a Dawn for the buyer who wants their Rolls-Royce to be remembered long after it has passed by.
Rolls-Royce spent decades without a true convertible in its lineup before unveiling the Dawn for the 2016 model year. Rather than simply removing the roof from the Wraith, Rolls-Royce engineered an entirely new grand tourer with unique body panels and a meticulously insulated fabric top that preserves the marque's legendary refinement whether open or closed. This 2016 Rolls-Royce Dawn shows 32,057 miles and is finished in elegant English White over a striking Hotspur Red and Seashell leather interior. Beneath its handcrafted exterior lies a formidable 6.6L twin-turbocharged V12, delivering effortless performance with virtually silent composure. Enhanced with aftermarket wheels and subtle exterior touches, this Dawn offers an ideal combination of bespoke luxury, commanding presence, and grand touring capability.

This 1963 example shows approximately 88,882 miles and is finished in a sophisticated Sand Metallic and Sable exterior color combination over a beige leather interior. Equipped with its renowned 6.2L V8 engine, extensive walnut wood trim, and traditional rear passenger amenities, this Silver Cloud III offers a driving and ownership experience that few automobiles can match. Whether displayed at concours events or enjoyed on leisurely drives, this Rolls-Royce embodies timeless British luxury and prestige.
