Description

The Rolls-Royce Corniche V represents the final chapter of an era when luxury motoring was defined by craftsmanship, elegance and effortless performance. Built in limited numbers, the Corniche V combines classic Rolls-Royce character with the understated sophistication of a grand touring convertible. Under its long bonnet sits a 6.75 litre V8, delivering smooth, quiet power rather than outright speed. The Corniche was designed to make every journey feel special, with its soft suspension, refined automatic transmission and beautifully insulated cabin creating an exceptionally relaxed driving experience. Inside, the Corniche V is unmistakably Rolls-Royce. Hand-finished wood, supple leather and meticulous detailing surround the occupants, while the spacious interior provides the kind of comfort expected from a flagship luxury car. Its electrically operated convertible roof allows the car to transform from an elegant-closed grand tourer into a stylish open-air cruiser.

This Rolls-Royce was first sold by Malay Motors in Singapore. It was well serviced by them until 2009 and the car was repatriated and registered in the UK in December 2010. The car was next serviced by Colbrook of Peterborough in 2001 and again by them in 2014. This Corniche V was then serviced by Hanwells of London in 2021. They sold the car to our vendor in October 2025 offering a two-year warranty. Shortly after taking delivery new hoses were fitted to the roof mechanism, which operates exactly as it should. A new ECU has been fitted after an issue with the key fobs. Our fastidious vendor assures us this delightful Rolls-Royce Corniche V drives with no known faults. Supplied with a V5 registration document, a current MoT test certificate valid until 14th July 2027 and a good collection of paperwork. With its imposing presence and timeless design, the Corniche V has become an increasingly interesting modern classic. It offers something few contemporary cars can replicate: a genuine sense of occasion every time you get behind the wheel. For collectors and enthusiasts, it stands as a remarkable example of traditional British luxury before Rolls-Royce entered a new era under BMW ownership. Consigned by Stewart Banks
