Corniche IV

Convertible

1993

A true show class example representing the very best of Rolls-Royce by Crewe!

First and foremost, the introduction to this Corniche IV is paramount. The Corniche IV is the last of the Crewe series Corniche having been first released as a Silver Shadow Drop Head Convertible (DHC) in 1967. Spanning a production life of some 30 years with the same body style but many derivates along the way, the model culminated in the best of them all with the IV. Only 219 Corniche IVs were made out of the total production run of some 7,300. That’s less than 3% and with a final end-price of some $250,000 in 1996.

This is a super clean, entirely immaculate Corniche IV convertible that presents better than you will find almost anywhere. So spectacular in its exemplary condition and presentation, you would be well and truly forgiven to think you are looking at a 10 or 15 year old example. She is stunning!!

And if this car was not special enough, it also comes with some degree of notoriety having been recently used in the current Netflex series; “The Idol” starring Lilly-Rose Depp (daughter of Johnny Depp). The car is promoted as Depp’s character car. (Photos are included below and the link provided).

An incredibly fine example of a Corniche IV convertible finished in delectable Claret Red with handsome Magnolia Connolly hide interior with rich burgundy accents via the seat piping, dash pad and floor carpets. Fitted by us recently are new mouton overlays that match the perfect condition factory Wilton wool carpets underneath. The coach-lines are elegantly contrasted in interior matching cream. Photos in this listing include both inside and outside shots so you can best appreciate the colour of the car.

Mileage is a very modest 44,000.

The Corniche design with its signature rear quarter "hip-line" is unquestionably one of the most elegant of coach-work designs provided by Rolls-Royce's coach-builder - Mulliner Park-Ward. It has tested the time for elegance and style enduring no less than 30 years in production and sale (1966-1996). This being a 1993 Corniche IV, it has all the engineering upgrades and product features introduced over the maturity cycle of the model. Too many to list here but a few; alloy wheels, upgraded dash with 4-bullseye AC outlets, full length console, heated seats, air bag, much deeper and heavier tufted leather seats, just to name a few. A not often identified upgrade was the much larger rear 1/4 glass which was introduced to enable an increase in roof height for rear seat passengers and providing for a more elegant appearance to the car when the roof is up and better outward view for rear passengers. And, for the first time, a rear window in real glass! (with demister). The roof is also fully automatically self latching.

The only modification to this car is the Sony stereo system which was fitted by the previous owner. We have to admit, even though we are purists, it provides far better sound the original.

This Corniche IV is a 3-owner car that has spent most of its life in Florida and California. Her most recent owner of 20 years is a respected Beverly Hills antique dealer who sparingly used the car but maintained her well and kept her stored indoors at all times.

Upon Park-Ward acquiring the car, very modest and light cosmetic restoration was done to include refinishing the wood on the doors, the mouton rugs, some very minor paint rectification and refinishing the fine-lines, along with the fitment of new, and correct size, Avon Turbosteel whitewall tyres – the only tyre for a late Corniche!

The car drives incredibly nice. Many are not aware, the changes in suspension design for the later Corniches resulted in a very smooth car. Their ride is quite superior to the early examples which had the odd rattle and thumps associated with such a large convertible body. These IVs ride like you would expect an equivalent year low-mileage Rolls-Royce sedan to do so.

Body, paint, interior leather, carpets & wood and the convertible Everflex top are all in superb and excellent condition. There is no single cosmetic or aesthetic item to criticise. The wood is to die for with the magnificent burl walnut and teak in-lay, finished in a way that only Rolls-Royce does it the best.

Nothing more can really be said about this delicious example other than to reiterate, she is as lovely as you could possibly expect. Please take the time to look at all the pictures to best appreciate how fine this Corniche IV is.

As a darling example, please do expect to pay a strong price. This is being offered as a 100% turn-key example that is subject to Park-Ward’s “Predelivery Commissioning” program (similar to “certified” credentials) and as such will need nothing but to be enjoyed and driven.

Let there be no doubt, this is a show-quality example.

~~ A truly immaculate show-quality example Corniche IV. To emphasise, I repeat; show-quality example, in stunning and bold Claret Red with Magnolia and burgundy accented Connolly leather interior. ~~

International bidders are always welcome.

~~ **Please note: All Park-Ward Motors’ cars, once sold, undergo a process known as “Predelivery Commissioning” which is a detailed procedure for bringing all service and maintenance up to date before shipping to you as the new owner. As an experienced and professional restorer and collector of some 45 years, we have our own in-house Rolls-Royce dedicated service facility with qualified craftsmen on hand. Although our cars have already undergone workshop inspection PRIOR to being offered for sale, once sold, it will be put thru our workshop to ensure all major and minor services are up to date, is mechanically maintained in good shape and all major features and functions are operating as they should. The “Predelivery Commissioning” process ensures your new Rolls-Royce is turn-key. This is all done at NO CHARGE. We do this even though the car is contractually being sold "as-is". As a passionate collector of the marque I take great pride and pleasure in passing on any of these great cars to its next owner (“caretaker”). Who else selling a Rolls-Royce on eBay does this?! Depending on our work load, please allow approximately 21 business days for this process. For more information on the Park-Ward Motor Museum and our skills, please eBay message me and I would be happy to show you some 200+ Rolls-Royces restored to varying levels over the last few years ~~
