During the late 1990s, a new-generation Rolls-Royce Corniche—the fifth and final series—was developed and debuted in January 2000. Sharing its basic platform and structure with the Bentley Azure and rigorously strengthened internally, the latest Corniche shared many of its basic styling cues with the contemporary Rolls-Royce Seraph. Powering the Corniche was the renowned Rolls-Royce V-8 engine, displacing 6.75L and developing 325 HP at 4,400 engine revolutions with turbocharging, digital engine management and port-type fuel injection.
While weighing some 6,800 pounds, the Corniche was an outstanding performer nonetheless, capable of well over 130 MPH and remarkably strong acceleration, thanks to its immense torque rating of 544 lbs-ft at just 2,100 RPM. A low center of gravity, computerized ride control and adaptive shifting provided a spirited drive. The crowning touch was a fully lined and insulated soft top. Production of the “Series V” Corniche was quite brief, ending August 2002 with just 374 built and the final Corniche retained by Rolls-Royce.
Of historical importance, the “Series V” Corniche stands as the last model produced at the Rolls-Royce factory in Crewe, England, following the wake of the purchase of Bentley by Volkswagen AG and BMW taking sole ownership of Rolls-Royce. Famously, the Series V Corniche was a hand-built product of uncompromising quality, the most expensive vehicle offered by Rolls-Royce in its day with a base price of more than $359,000. Powered by the turbocharged 6.75L/325 HP Rolls-Royce V-8 engine, this Corniche is elegantly finished in factory Silver Pearl Metallic paint, complemented by an Ivory Connolly leather interior with navy blue piping, luxurious Wilton wool carpeting and a burled walnut dash.
Desirable features and amenities are many, including the comfort of dual-zone automatic temperature control and a six-disc CD changer. Automatic ride control and automatic headlamps deliver a sophisticated driving experience. Factory 17-inch chrome wheels provide additional distinction. Garaged and covered when not in use, this rare and immensely desirable “Series V” 2000 Rolls-Royce Corniche is accompanied at auction by a clean CarFax vehicle history report.
