This is a gorgeous example of a 1992 Rolls-Royce Corniche IV that
has accumulated 10,400 miles from new. The present owner has
enjoyed this Corniche for the past 18 years. In white and magnolia
two-tone livery, it is simply stunning. Over the past 17 years of
ownership, it has been serviced and maintained by marque
specialists as well as Desert European, the local Rolls-Royce
dealership in the Palm Springs valley. This Corniche is in nearly
new condition, inside and out, and may be the only two-tone
Corniche IV ever made. Reference: Rolls-Royce Corniche IV
(rrsilvershadow.com) This Corniche was ordered new by Sandra
Adelson, the first wife of the late Sheldon Adelson, owner of the
Las Vegas Sands empire. Sandra and Sheldon had amassed an enormous
fortune together, becoming two of the most affluent people in the
world. Ms. Adelson ordered the Corniche through Foreign Motors West
of Natick, MA. Ms. Adelson lived in her home in the exclusive
Chestnut Hill area outside of Boston. The Rolls was with Ms.
Adelson until her death, when it soon thereafter was bought by its
last owner, Mr. Bill Walsh. Mr. Walsh used the Corniche at his PGA
West home in La Quinta, CA as an escape from his 28 dealerships in
the Chicagoland area. This Rolls is one of the 219 Corniche IVs
made in the four years from 1992 until 1995. This is incredibly
rare, and more so being in the stunning two-tone paint scheme and
having accumulated a mere 10,400 miles since new. The Corniche IVs
benefitted from the latest engineering, including upgrades to the
ABS braking system, a four-speed automatic, fully automatic
convertible top and many other refinements. The livery is beautiful
in its original white (Code RR.9520090) and magnolia (Code
RR.95.20093) with white double coach stripes. The paint is stunning
with its factory finish without orange peel and still looking as
though it is new! The stainless steel and chrome are overall in
excellent condition, with only normal use shown via small fine
scratches in the stainless steel. The white Everflex convertible
top is in excellent condition and the rear window is clear and also
in great condition. Every part of the car reinforces that this has
been faithfully garaged and cared for since new. The white leather
interior is complimented by magnolia piping and magnolia upper dash
panel with triple tone wood veneer, including burl walnut, and two
other contrasting veneers. The leather is in overall excellent
condition with very minimal wear shown on the drivers seat, which
one would expect after 10,400 miles. The leather is soft and supple
and also shows that this Rolls has been loved and cared for. The
magnolia Wilton wool carpets are nearly as new and are covered by
the original white mouton sheepskin overlays which are in very nice
condition. The drivers door wood cap railing shows only one of the
normal small chips from the seat belt, which we commonly see in
Corniches. The light wool broadcloth headliner and the original
white convertible top boot cover are in excellent condition as
well. The engine compartment is in concours presentation condition.
It absolutely looks showroom new. The Corniche drives beautifully
and the 158-point inspection report was completed by our mechanic.
The Rolls is complete with its Owners Manuals, original set of
tools and 20 years of service records. When new, the Corniche IV
had a base MSRP over $285,000. For a couple of data points, the
Hagerty Price Guide has the 1993 Corniche IV valued at $120,000 for
a No. 1 example. At auction, the Corniche IV has sold for as much
as $360,000. Reference Bonhams Auction Result For more information
