The 2002 Rolls-Royce Corniche, a symbol of opulence and exclusivity, is now available for collectors and enthusiasts. As the fifth and final Rolls-Royce model to carry the Corniche name, this luxurious convertible was introduced in January 2000 and quickly became the marque’s most expensive offering, with a base price of $359,900.
This particular Corniche is a standout example, one of only 32 left-hand drive models produced during its final year of production. Finished in the elegant Silver Tempest color, it features a sumptuous interior with Cotswold and French Navy leather, Wilton wool carpets, and high-gloss burr walnut trim. The Blue fabric convertible top enhances its all-weather appeal with a touch of class.
Powered by a 6.75-liter turbocharged V-8 engine, the Corniche delivers 325 horsepower, a top speed of 135 mph, and a 0-60 mph acceleration time of eight seconds. Unlike its contemporaries, the Corniche’s body was mounted on the Bentley Azure platform, marking it as the only Rolls-Royce derived from a Bentley model.
Completed in August 2001 at the Crewe factory, this Corniche was delivered new to Royal Motor Cars of Atlanta. With just 6,837 miles on the odometer, it has spent most of its life in the Tri-State area. The vehicle comes with a set of manuals, two Rolls-Royce umbrellas, and a copy of the window sticker.
As the last Rolls-Royce model built at Crewe and the only one developed under Volkswagen’s ownership, this low-mileage Corniche represents a unique chapter in Rolls-Royce history. It is currently offered at a price range of $125,000 – $175,000 USD, making it a rare and coveted addition to any distinguished collection.
