I have for sale an excellent example of the early hand built Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible. It was built in September of 1973 by Mulliner Park Ward. It has the strong Rolls Royce v8 engine that is working great. I just got it back today from being serviced at Master Rolls, the top mechanic in the country for Rolls Royce. The bill was $1,766 which is included fluid flush, front brake pumps, electric window repair, and tune up. The car is running as it should now. Brakes are excellent, tires are perfect, engine is strong with only 51,963 miles on it. It some of the pictures of the dash where the radio is you may notice there is a hole, that was just repaired with a wood plate, I have the original piece which held some sort of radio or cassette player. It was purchased roughly 8 years ago, and 7 years ago it under went restoration. It was painted the deep black you see in the pictures which was $12,000. A new Brown top was put on, along with new front seats. There has been around $20,000 put into this car over the last 8 years to bring it up to the classic car it is now. I am a private seller not a dealer selling this car. Windows, top, doors, trunk, radio, it all works as it should. It will truly be an excellent car to ad to anyones collection. Since I am not a dealer I won't be asking the 45-50k price tag that many do, the auction will start at .99 cents with an extremely low reserve, the lowest ever on a Corniche. If you ever wanted to own a true hand built top of the line Rolls Royce this is your chance.

Corniche Comeback: New Rolls-Royce coupe spotted testing
Wed, 25 Jul 2012It's been over a decade since Rolls-Royce last offered a Corniche, which was the company's name for its unibody coupe and convertible models since the early 1970s. But from the looks of what our photographers recently snapped in Munich, that drought may soon be over.
What they've spied is the 2014 Rolls-Royce Corniche coupe, a forthcoming model based on the Rolls-Royce Ghost. Never mind the fake door handles and rear doors on the test mules, the production Corniche will have just two suicide doors like its big brother the Phantom coupe.
Powertrain will probably be carried over from the Ghost sedan, meaning a 6.6-liter V12. We suspect that BMW will roll out its new Roller at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2013. Until then, our spies will keep their eyes open for more prototypes, including the oft-rumored convertible.
Rolls-Royce celebrates Goodwood with Chicane edition Phantom Coupe
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Of all the automakers out there, perhaps none scream "race track" as quietly as Rolls-Royce. But the British luxury automaker has its home near the Goodwood Motor Circuit, and has honored that proximity with its latest special edition.
Called the Chicane, it's based on the Phantom Coupe and is upgraded with a series of tastefully motorsport-inspired details. It's painted in gunmetal grey with a matte black hood and windshield frame, with matching gunmetal wheels - a modern Rolls-Royce first - and a red interior decked out with carbon-fiber trim and a checkered flag motif that's repeated on the exterior coachline.
The special one-off was commissioned by the dealership in Dubai and was created by the Rolls-Royce Bespoke division. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
Rolls-Royce planning plug-in hybrid
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Rolls-Royce is not the first marque you'd think of when it comes to environmentally friendly transportation. Its cars are big - often the size of SUVs - and pack ginormous twelve-cylinder engines displacing over six and a half liters. Those upright Parthenon grilles can't be very aerodynamic, either. But the way the wind is blowing these days, Goodwood will have to get with the program sooner or later.
It developed an electric version of the Phantom a couple of years ago called the 102EX and showed it to customers around the world. But people weren't interested, so Rolls-Royce killed the program. Not to be deterred, however, Rolls is now said to be working on a plug-in hybrid that would countermand some of the shortcomings - like range and recharging times - that killed the 102EX.
The technology would apparently be borrowed from parent company BMW which is developing it for the X5 eDrive and allow Rolls-Royce to reduce its carbon footprint and offer a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation to those who don't want to skimp on the luxury and prestige.
