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 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.
