Arguably the ultimate 1970s and 1980s status symbol of wealth and success, the Rolls-Royce Corniche was a car sought after by many but one only the fortunate few could afford. Designed and intended to be enjoyed by their lucky owners in warm-weather climates, each Corniche took four months to be hand built, with two weeks spent on the convertible top alone. With a list price of over $200,000, each car utilized only the finest materials Britain had to offer, including Wilton wool carpeting, Connolly leather, and carefully selected burl walnut veneer.

First introduced in 1971, the Corniche remained in production for nearly 25 years and over this time, these cars were periodically updated to keep them both modern and relevant. The Corniche II, the model’s first major revision, was introduced in 1977 and included new rack-and-pinion steering, alloy and rubber bumpers which replaced the earlier chrome bumpers, along with an oil cooler, aluminum radiator, and bi-level air conditioning system.

Presented here is perhaps one of the finest 1989 Rolls-Royce Corniche II Convertibles in existence. This particular example was purchased new by a woman residing in Ohio from Rolls-Royce Cincinnati and has remained in her ownership ever since. Beautifully finished in Magnolia with a matching top over a navy blue leather interior and carpets with contrasting magnolia piping. With nary a crease to be found on the sumptuous leather seats, the car presents exceptionally well throughout, evidence of 30 years of loving care. Clearly her prized possession, it has only been driven just 6,350 miles from new and is accompanied by its original manuals and jack.

Perhaps the most exceptional Corniche ever offered, this example checks all the right boxes and is ready and waiting for its second owner.
