Bentley and Rolls-Royce Corniche - about the lightness of being and driving

October 29, 2014 — Bruno von Rotz 69

The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and the Bentley Corniche, which were both launched in 1965, were followed by a coupé and a convertible version in 1967/1968, originally called the Drophead Coupé, but renamed Corniche in 1971. The elegant convertible and its closed sister were built for almost thirty years, in each case as a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley. The report looks at the history of these vehicles, design aspects and market acceptance and shows many historical photos, original brochures and press information alongside current images.
