With the underpinnings of the contemporary Silver Shadow, the Camargue coupe was strikingly different from any preceding Rolls-Royce model, and closer in concept to the Bentley Continental.
Original U.S. list prices were approximately $148,000, making Camargues perilously expensive; in today's money they would eclipse the cost of almost all new cars. Although in production for 11 years until 1986, some 530 were built. Of those, a mere 30 entered the U.S.A. each year even though the bulk of production was intended for overseas customers and the majority built with left-hand drive.
THE CAR OFFERED
Ordered in August of 1983 and completed a year later, this Camargue was retailed new by Swift Dodge in Sacramento, California. According to records from the Rolls-Royce Foundation, which includes copies of factory records, the Rolls was finished in Acrylic White with a Tan Everflex roof and Double Tan fine lines over an interior resplendent in Tan leather with Magnolia piping and Cumberland Stone carpets. Nearly fully loaded from the start, additional specifications for this car included picnic tables for the rear seats, color coded tan leather on the dash, steering wheel, and package shelf, veneered outlets for the speakers and air vents in doors and package shelf, a smaller steering wheel, rear seat headrests, a locking cocktail cabinet in the stowage bin and more.
Delivered new in October of 1984, its first owner was Richard Benvenuti. Mr. Benvenuti's family, starting with his father Joseph, helped develop Sacramento real estate as well as bring the Kings basketball team to California's capital city. Copies of factory warranty records show the car was driven regularly by Mr. Benvenuti, accruing 18,527 miles by October of 1987. A gap in the car's history runs from then until the CARFAX report picks up in tune of 1995 with 28,682 miles recorded.
Throughout the duration of the history noted on the CARFAX report, the Camargue remained in the New York City metropolitan area—recorded in 1999 as being part of the collection of Larchmont, New York collector Richard Buckingham, adding an additional 50,000 miles to the ticker in that time. The current owner acquired the car in 2014 and it now shows 82,000 miles on the odometer.
Shown but not driven or used in the past nine years, mechanical recommissioning is recommended prior to use. Complete with the aforementioned copies of factory records, this Rolls will no doubt delight once it is properly serviced.
