Corniche (1981-2001)
The Rolls-Royce and Bentley Corniche models, produced between 1981 and 2001, were two-door vehicles available as both coupés and convertibles. Based on the Silver Shadow platform, they incorporated advanced engineering and high-quality materials. The Rolls-Royce Corniche remained in production through 2001, while the Bentley Corniche was produced in limited numbers until 1984, after which the convertible was rebranded as the Bentley Continental. Both models shared mechanical components but featured distinct branding, with the Bentley Corniche being significantly rarer.
