After eight years of devoted ownership, it was acquired by its most recent owner in 2008.

These late-series cars are celebrated for their exceptional build quality, surpassing that of the Azure. Equipped with the LPT (low-pressure turbo) engine, they deliver a seamless combination of grace and performance. This classic car effortlessly rises to the occasion when called upon.
The name “Corniche” originates from the South of France, a region closely tied to Sir Henry Royce. Much of his work was designed at his winter residence, La Villa Mimosa, in Le Canadel.
This exceptional example comes complete with build records, factory-issued handbooks (including the service booklet), tools, and twin umbrellas. It is not merely a car but a true piece of automotive history.
The Rolls-Royce Corniche V embodies the ultimate combination of luxury and heritage, making it a compelling choice for the connoisseur who demands only the very best.
