The Rolls-Royce Corniche, named after the 1939 prototype and inspired by the picturesque coastal roads of France, represents the epitome of elegance and craftsmanship in a luxury grand tourer. Introduced as a successor to the Silver Shadow, the Corniche was developed by Mulliner Park Ward, renowned for their bespoke coachbuilding, delivering a distinct blend of style and innovation. This 1979 model features a refined design with a sleek, two-door coupe silhouette, exuding sophistication and presence on the road. Built on the monocoque chassis of the Silver Shadow, the Corniche boasts a completely new body and a comfortable, spacious passenger compartment. Its distinctive features include the notable Everflex roof, luxurious burl wood interior accents, and a Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio, emphasizing a seamless balance of comfort and style. Powering this classic is a hand-assembled 6.75-liter V8 engine with twin SU carburetors, producing 218 horsepower - providing effortless performance with a top speed of approximately 210 km/h. The vehicle is equipped with a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission, complemented by advanced features for its time, such as four-wheel independent suspension with hydraulic self-leveling and ventilated disc brakes, ensuring a refined driving experience.
