A Pre‑Production Namesake from 1939
Long before the production model, Rolls‑Royce listed a 1939 experimental Corniche, indicating that the name had historic roots even prior to the 1971 launch.
Collector’s Rarity and Restoration Passion
Parts for the Corniche are notoriously scarce – rear shock absorbers for 1985‑1989 models are described as "very hard to find." Enthusiasts also go to great lengths to restore the car, with examples of complete interior rebuilds highlighting its desirability among collectors.
