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 ~~

A note from RRMOTORSINC:

For those Rolls-Royce enthusiasts who have followed my auctions in the past I welcome you all.
For those who are new to my adverts and/or the marque, please note that as a serious collector of some 40 years, all my cars are truly described examples. I have my own private Rolls-Royce workshop of some 25,000 sqft with trained Rolls-Royce craftsmen who are proficient in all aspects. As a team, we are dedicated to the preservation of the marque and as such, any car that leaves the stable is completely inspected and work-shopped to ensure mechanical and operational items are maintained appropriately. This process is known as “Predelivery Commissioning”. This is a process that ensures all major and minor services are done and any maintenance the car needs is attended to. This is not just limited to mechanical items bit operational items and features as well, such as AC, heating, electric windows, seats etc. The Predelivery Commissioning process occurs once a car is sold and can take a few weeks. We ask you be patient but it’s all for the benefit of you as the new caretaker.
We adopt a “keep it original” mentality with pride and confidence, offering after sales technical support and assistance well beyond the sale. Because most of my cars are offered for the pleasures of driving enjoyment it is not always possible or practical to seek perfection (in the true sense of the word) but we do always uphold excellence in whatever we do. Our cars are by no means cheap priced cars but we like to think they are amongst the best. To this end, I firmly believe in the famous adage; “Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten."We hope you do to.

**PLEASE read auction terms and conditions below BEFORE making an offer.**

~~ Important note: the $2,000 deposit is due within 24 hours.

If not paid, or if no contact is received within that period, we reserve the right to offer the car to any other party.~~

This Rolls-Royce is part of a private collection of the Park-Ward Motors Museum. Although licensed and bonded, I am not a main-stream retail car dealer or broker; I am a professional car collector of some 45 years with considerable experience and knowledge of Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor Cars. I have a long standing reputation being associated with the marque which I take seriously. I take pride in my cars and have fun in collecting and restoring them. However, auctions are not a game so when you place a bid or offer, and you are the winning bidder, please understand you have entered a binding contract. You cannot bid and win the auction and expect not to meet the terms and conditions. Bidding and/or winning does not mean you are expecting me to “hold” the car until you have the opportunity to inspect it. Any inspection contemplated must be undertaken BEFORE you bid or make an offer and I openly welcome any potential buyer to come and personally inspect the car. Please note, however, we do NOT allow 3rd party inspectors because history has sadly proven, they are not worth their weight in salt. Do not waste your time nor money - come yourself and we will go over the car in detail with you. Once you bid or make an offer, you are doing so to buy WITHOUT conditions. Your bid can not be subject to anything. A $2000.00 deposit (non-refundable) is required within 24 hours of the close of the auction and payable by PayPal. The balance of funds are required within 7 days of the close of the auction and must be provided by cashier’s check or bank wire (unless, and only, if agreed otherwise in writing). I cannot accept PayPal for the balance unless you are willing to meet the cost of transfer fees or you are happy to pay via "pay a friend". Full payment must be made (and payments cleared) before the title and/or the vehicle is released. All payments are non-refundable. Payments as described above form an important part of this purchase contract and so, if all the funds are not received as outlined above, I reserve the right to terminate the transaction without notice. If there has been any deposit or other part payments received and I elect to terminate the contract and/or if you fail to complete the transaction, I reserve the right to keep any such deposits or payments and resell the vehicle to another bidder or interested party or re-list the vehicle at any time. To be clear, if you change your mind for ANY reason and do not complete the transaction in the time-frame required, you will forfeit your deposit and any other monies paid. And, to make it very clear, paying by credit card, if so accepted, does not mean you can unilaterally elect to seek a refund from your credit card provider and/or lender. I am happy to assist with shipping arrangements on a national and worldwide basis but the winning bidder takes full responsibility for pickup and/or shipping and at his cost.


As a collector and experienced restorer of the marque, I make every effort to bring my cars to a high standard, both before and after the sale. By comparison, my cars are generally far superior to others available but they are by no means perfect. You must expect some issues. Unless specifically stated, the car is not of show standard but of nice "driver" condition. Please understand, show cars of this model cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to achieve and sell for prices commensurate, so the sale price of this car reflects its relative condition. You are buying "condition" accordingly. Buyers should not expect to receive concours quality or "perfect" cars at these prices. Please also understand, the very nature of these classic Rolls-Royces is such that it is not always possible to attend to every item, or perhaps I may have inadvertently overlooked items. Further, and very importantly, these cars are classic cars also because they are old. So this means if a car is 30 years old, then it is predominantly comprised of 30 year old parts. And old parts will fail. All buyers must understand and expect that things can or will wear out, break and/or stop functioning without notice, even if we have inspected it. This is even more likely with hand-built English cars of early technology when compared to the typical American car of the same vintage. Please note, fitted radio/stereo systems are usually subject to upgrade by purchasers so I do not ensure operation of these. Similarly, cruise control systems fitted to these classics were of an inferior design and I do not check or warrant the operation of these. Suspension and brakes on these cars are complex. We thoroughly check them and replace things that are identified faulty. But please understand, by example; if we refurbish or replace a brake caliper because it appears aged or faulty, we do NOT at the same time refurbish or place all other brake calipers because they are of similar age. This is considered "preventative maintenance". We do not do this unless specifically requested and is not included in the purchase price. Feel free to ask for this additional service. Further, a feature or function that is working perfectly one moment, may decide to play-up the next. After all, it is several decades old. This is the nature of any classic car and especially a Rolls-Royce which was very "complicated" for its era. For this reason it is necessary for the following condition:
The vehicle is being sold "as-is/where-is" with no warranty expressed, written or implied. Any descriptions or representations are made with reasonable judgment and all efforts are made to ensure fair assessment and accuracy but they are for descriptive and identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. The seller shall not be responsible for errors in description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein and makes no warranty in connection therewith. If any aspect of the description contradicts what can be seen in the photos, then the photos shall prevail as the reference point. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, unforeseen imperfection, defect or damage. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied himself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely. The seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects at the buyer’s request prior to the close of the auction. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any written or oral statements about the vehicle.Being a classic car in excess of 10 years of age, in mostUSstates, the mileage may be recorded as “exempt”. In this regard the seller makes no warranties as to the accuracy of the mileage indicated or shown and accepts no responsibility for any discrepancy with independent reports such as Carfax, AutoCheck, etc.In this regard the seller makes no warranties as to the accuracy of the mileage indicated or shown. I can hold the vehicle up to 30 days while you arrange shipping but you must immediately insure it. I will not bear any responsibility for any additional costs including storage, transportation, or repair after the close of the auction. Whereas I am happy to store the car in excess of 30 days from auction end, a cost of $35 per day shall apply beyond 30 days of auction end. Also, you must remember that this is a classic +30 year old vehicle, and while it is up to you, I do not recommend that you just “hop in and drive it across the country” until you have familiarised yourself with the car. At least, I have never done that. I have always professionally transported the cars in enclosed carriers from where I bought them to my home.

PLEASE; IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS, CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU CONTEMPLATE DOING SO AS, RESPECTFULLY, THERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS.
Finally, the advertised or "Buy it Now" price is a price whereby we are committed to do repair work on the car if we see something "not right". This may occur after the sale and before delivery. It is our commitment to excellence. So, to be clear, if the agreed selling price is less than 85% of the initial asking price, then the sale is considered a wholesale "as-is" sale. To put it simply, and to be fair, a buyer cannot expect to buy "cheap" and get all the benefits otherwise associated with a retail value type sale.


I am sorry if these terms seem harsh but there seem to be some very unrealistic buyers out there - fortunately, only few of these people exist but those that do can make life difficult, so it appears EVERYTHING needs to spelled out. Very simply put, this is an old car being offered for sale. It is not new and is subject to the perils of age. Further, Rolls-Royces are not without nuances, idiosyncrasies and they are renown for a host of design issues which can make them not inexpensive to maintain. This is well documented in many circles. You need to be a special and considerate type of purchaser to ownaRolls-Royce. Their down-side is part of the fun in owning them! As the old saying goes; "we love to hate them and hate to love them!" So, please respect the terms and conditions when you bid.
