Vehicle Description
Vehicle Description Prestigious Euro Cars are proud to present an
absolutely stunning and exceptional example of this 1989
Rolls-Royce Corniche II with only 36409 original miles - one of the
last generation of Crewe hand built Rolls Royce's, the Corniche II,
one of only 1274 built between the final 1986 and 1989 production
years, with Bentley having already having become a subsidiary of VW
from Vickers in 1998 and with Rolls-Royce about to become solely
owned by BMW in late 2002. This is a truly superb Rolls Royce by
any standards, and one which was still being hand built at the
legendary Rolls Royce / Bentley legendary Crewe factory, and by far
the most expensive vehicle offered by Rolls-Royce in it's day, with
a base price of over $189K. This particular example is superbly
striking in its original and very rare and unique factory
''WHITE''' color with a beautiful matching and very striking
convertible top and a gorgeous Piping' leather interior with
matching 'Wilton' wool carpeting and trunk and burled walnut dash
with 16" factory wheels. This is an obviously always garaged and
covered example since new with only 36409K original miles and with
a clean CARFAX report showing extensive preventive maintenance and
scheduled service history over the years It was obviously owned by
only very careful and meticulous drivers since new - never abused!
The Corniche historically was originally Rolls Royce's coupe and
convertible versions of the Silver Shadow saloon and which was
originally produced between 1971 and 1996. The model was assembled
in Crewe and finished in London at the renown Rolls Royce
coachbuilders 'Mulliner Park Ward' as a continuation of their 1965
Silver Shadow coupe and 1967 drophead, with the Corniche name
applied in 1971. The Corniche coupe was discontinued in 1982. Total
production of the coupes (1971-82) was only 1,108 and of the
convertibles (1971-87) was only 3,239. The car as reworked in 1986
as the Corniche II (with 1,226 produced), in late 1989 as the
Corniche III (with 452 produced) and in 1993 as the Corniche IV
(with only 244 produced) when production was moved to Crewe after
the closure of Mulliner Park Ward and the final form in 2000 was as
the Corniche V after which production ceased in 2001. For those who
are unfamiliar, Rolls Royce and Bentley no longer exist as they had
for over one hundred years - this is one of the very last in the
original line of cars hand built in the legendary Rolls
Royce/Bentley factory in Crewe, England with a quality and
craftsmanship that far surpasses that of today's mass produced
models with many BMW parts - this is a rare opportunity to own a
piece of automobile history, from a time when Rolls Royce and
Bentley were truly building the world's finest motor cars.Please
