THE ROLLS-ROYCE CORNICHE IV
It is often said the last of the breed is the most refined, and with over two decades of tweaking and perfecting under its belt by 1993, this is certainly true for this Corniche. Originally debuting in 1971, the elegant design by John Polwhele Blatchley proved to stand the test of time, as the exterior styling of the car went largely unchanged throughout its quarter of a century production history. The Corniche IV was the last of the breed, benefiting from the improvements of the previous three models (including ABS, airbags, better ergonomics, and minor stylistic changes) as well as receiving a glass rear window, a power top that required no latching, and an improved A/C system. Only 219 MK IV were produced, making that version the rarest, most sophisticated, and desirable Corniche.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This Corniche IV would spend the first 14 years of its life with its original owner in both Florida and California before being acquired by the consignor in 2006. The exterior is clad in a gorgeous shade of deep blue while the interior is finished in Parchment leather with blue piping, dash, and carpets. Nicely optioned, the car has been properly maintained and serviced by marque experts.
Now showing a mere 16,354 miles from new, it has been a long time favorite within the seller's collection. Ready for the show field or active road use, it is a well-preserved example of the antepenultimate version of the legendary Corniche. Complete with copies of its factory records and a clean CARFAX report, it is sure to provide luxurious transportation for its next lucky owner.
