Rolls-Royce upgraded the Corniche for 1992 and presented it at the
North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan of that
year. With the 1994 planned closing of Mulliner Park Ward, this
generation is considered the last of the Corniche series, as the
Corniche IV was widely regarded as the last coachbuilt example
produced by Rolls-Royce with their final run in 1995.
As a Corniche IV, it came with many improvements over its
predecessor, such as increased horsepower, dual front airbags,
four-speed transmission, complete power top with automatic latches
and glass rear window, adaptive suspension, air conditioning,
fabulous burl wood interior trim elements, and all of the luxury
and convenience commensurate with such an internationally
recognized Rolls-Royce model; all with a base MSRP over
$285,000.
Approximately 220 Corniche IVs were reportedly built from 1992-1995
making them incredibly rare and desirable. This example has covered
less than 36,000 miles from new and has been well cared for, with a
fully refurbished power operated soft-top and properly serviced
routinely, as indicated by the service records that accompany the
car. Over $20,000 in service and maintenance was loving bestowed
upon this Rolls-Royce less than 100 miles ago according to the
included receipts.
The lovely Corniche offered here is the highly sought-after
final-generation model. Factory build records, copies of which are
on file, record that it was finished elegantly in Magnolia with
contrasting Tan leather interior highlighted with Magnolia piping
with matching tan top. The Rolls-Royce was purchased new in Coral
Gables, Florida, arguably one of the very finest places to enjoy
the luxurious open-air motoring the Corniche was created for. But
of course, a great car such as this will make driving anywhere a
pleasurable experience.To view this car and others currently
