You are looking at one of the most beautiful 1988 Rolls Royce Corniche II in the Santa Barbara, CA area. This is not just my opinion, but throughout the years I have owned this car, I received countless thumbs up, positive comments and had great conversations about it. So be assured that you will get a lot of attention when cruising around in this beauty.
This Rolls Royce Corniche II was produced in May 1987 onward and delivered to the first proud owner on December 15, 1987. I was able to buy it from a car collector in Beverly Hills, CA on October 9, 1997 with 30,492 miles on it. In my 16 years of ownership, I have always used this dependable limousine as one of my 4 every day cars. So the mileage added up a little. However, this Rolls Royce has always been pampered. All service and maintenance work was performed by Rolls Royce certified professionals and I have all the records . The car was always garaged and only saw rain few times. Needless to mention that this a non-smoking car and there were never any pets in it.
This Rolls Royce Corniche II just passed the smog check and was serviced.
It also comes with brand new white-wall tires. However, I prefer the slick look of black tires, the white-walls are turned to the inside. If you prefer white-walls, just reverse the tires.
The whole leather interior has been renewed by Rolls Royce certified professionals including 2 new original front seats.
The burl-wood received a touch-up too and looks like original new. The steering wheel is a signed E. Nardi master piece.
The plush dark blue lambswool rugs are also original.
The dark blue leather top is in absolute perfect condition.
The whole car had a extensive buff-up job last months and is sparkling.
The Alpine sound system is smart phone capable and has the HDMI-cable to plug it in. If you prefer wireless, there is also a Belkin system available in this car.
If you have any question about this gorgeous Rolls Royce Convertible, please do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail or cell phone. Trendixusa@msn.com //// 805 452 4853.

Rolls-Royce rolls out more powerful Ghost V-Specification
Tue, 07 Jan 2014With the release of the 624-horsepower Wraith fastback, Rolls-Royce proved that its 6.6-liter V12 engine could produce significantly more than the 563 horsepower it offers in the Ghost. But those looking for an extra dose of power yet still want the extra two doors - and have the six-figure price of admission to burn - will be delighted by the release of the Ghost V-Specification.
Although Goodwood has yet to put out a press release, its consumer website already has all the details we could want: the engine has been upgraded to 593 horsepower (to sit in between the base Ghost and the more powerful Wraith), driving the rear set of 21-inch two-tone alloys. Buyers will be able to choose from white, grey or three shades of black (or pick an existing color from the catalog), with a hand-painted coachline incorporating the same V-Specification emblem you'll find inside, where you'll also find unique piping and top-stitching, a custom dashboard clock, special treadplates and more.
Buyers will also be able to order their V-Specification Ghost in either standard or extended wheelbases at a price that's expected to, like the engine's output, bridge the gap between the more sedate Ghost and the more powerful Wraith. We're looking forward to seeing it in person at the Geneva Motor Show in a few months, but for now you can scope out the images in the gallery below and play with the configurator tool on the Rolls-Royce website.
Rolls-Royce planning one or two new models based on the Ghost
Wed, 29 Aug 2012Fourteen years after Volkswagen bought Bentley, its English brand has two distinct lines, Mulsanne and Continental - with numerous variants at the Continental's lower price point - an SUV on the way and perhaps a sports car and a Mulsanne convertible, too. In the 14 years since BMW bought Rolls-Royce, its English brand has the Phantom and Ghost - with three variants at the Phantom's much higher price point. Rolls-Royce doesn't chase sales, but the difference in the brand direction helps explain why Bentley has sold more cars in the first six months of this year than Rolls-Royce sold all of last year.
And even though Rolls-Royce isn't solely about the tally, it would still like to improve on the 3,538 cars it sold last year - a sales record that eclipsed a mark set in 1978. To do so its CEO is planning one or two more Ghost-based models beyond the as-yet-unnamed Ghost Coupe due next year, perhaps to be called the Corniche, according to a report in Autocar. A convertible version of the Ghost Coupe is the obvious guess for one of them, and it would get the double-R "closer to 4,000" sales, where the CEO would like to be.
Sales might not be the only part of it, though; the headline of the Autocar piece says the CEO wants the new models because they're "required to give Rolls-Royce a proper identity." If that is accurate, we have no idea what kind of identity Rolls-Royce could be missing that would be served by a wider range of cars in the Ghost range, which by their place in the brand's own lineup are admittedly not the most opulent carriages on the planet.
Man drives Rolls-Royce for 78 years then makes museum donation to ensure its preservation
Thu, 27 Dec 2012Mr. Allen Swift died in 2005 at the impressive age of 102, but his automotive story is even more remarkable. Not only is the gentleman credited with owning a Rolls-Royce automobile longer than anyone else in the world, but he had the forethought and funds to ensure its future preservation after his death.
In 1928, while living in Springfield, Massachusetts, Swift's father gave him a 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly P1 Roadster as a graduation present (Springfield and Rolls-Royce have a history - from 1920 to 1931, the British automaker built 2,944 vehicles in the city as part of its attempt to establish a US plant). The young man was passionate about his green-over-green softtop convertible, not only driving it on a regular basis, but maintaining it meticulously over the decades (the two door-received a complete body-off restoration and engine rebuild in 1988).
Rolls-Royce acknowledged Mr. Swift in 1994, awarding him a crystal Spirit of Ecstasy award for his length of ownership. By 2005, Swift had logged more than 170,000 miles on its analog odometer and he was recognized as the oldest living person to have owned a car from new. He passed away that year.
