Stunning 2000 Rolls-Royce Corniche V Convertible: One the last hand-built Rolls-Royces to leave the Crewe factory and 1 of just 374 Built
In 2000, the Corniche V was introduced after a gap of five years which caused considerable excitement. The new Corniche more than lived up to its name and proved an immense success with its combination of unmatched luxury, effortless performance, and soft-top style. When production ceased in 2002, only 374 of these '2nd Generation' Corniches had been built. Based on the same theme as the earlier cars, but with an entirely new design, this was, at the time, the most expensive vehicle offered by Rolls-Royce, offered then at a cost of $359,900. The engine was now turbocharged, produced 544 lb-ft of torque and provided a top speed for the 6800 pound car of 135 miles per hour. With a cabin fitted with Connolly hide seemingly everywhere, Wilton wool carpets under foot and a gorgeous display of burl walnut on the facia and cabin trim, the Corniche V was completely hand built and carries a flavor of a much earlier era while incorporating the best of modern technology. It was the last series of Rolls-Royce to be built at the famous plant in Crewe, England.
This particular example features a stunning, rare, and desirable color Fireglow Red and has 54k miles. A beautiful car that reflects exceptional care over the years and remains in excellent condition throughout. Incredibly well appointed and lavishly furnished. Mechanically superb, the Corniche drives like an absolute dream. Offered with factory books and tools. A gorgeous car inside and out that wears a striking color combination. A truly lovely Corniche all the way around that is sure to please it's lucky new owner. A dream for the collector or enthusiast.
