Albion (Ancient Greek) is the oldest known name of the island of Great Britain and from its shores come this immaculate One Owner Rolls Royce - 1989 was the last year to be hand built. This particular one has never been in the rain. Leather Bound Books- Chrystal Decanter and Glasses behind locking wood partition on drivers and passenger side doors all included in the sale. The chrome Hood figurine-Spirit of Ecstasy- derived from the Grande Corniche, the touring road high above the Mediterranean between Nice and Monte Carlo leads this stunning chrome grille made entirely by hand and eye - no measuring instruments are used. Essentially being the coupe and convertible versions of the Silver Shadow, the Rolls-Royce Corniche continued the use of the Shadow's unibody construction. The car was smaller and squarer than earlier models, though the Corniche was aimed at buyers who insisted on coachbuilt bodies. The Mulliner Park Ward design took four months to build. Two weeks alone were spent just creating the convertible's navy blue top. an engine that is completely hand built even today, 6,750-cc, Bosch fuel-injected OHV V-8, the Cornich, despite its weight of almost three tons, topped out at 120 mph, with 0-60 mph reached in fewer than ten seconds. At one time, Rolls-Royce engines held World Speed Records in the Air, on Land and on Water,simultaneously. The self-leveling suspension was based on the Citroen hydraulic system and the Corniche employed power disc brakes, like the Shadow. Only 1,234 examples of the Corniche II were produced.
