The most beautiful personal luxury car, ever made by Rolls Royce, the Corniche Coupe has wonderful flowing lines, and indeed looks so elegant from any angle that you care to look at it from. Truly a classic, I love them ❤🇬🇧👍🚙.
My aunt loved them and just as they were discontinued she commissioned a corniche convertible special order. Sadly before she collected it she passed away, in style, and her special order corniche has lived in a heated garage ever since with only being driven for family weddings now. A perfect one owner example in as new condition the very last one made I believe At least your effete shorts were colour co-ordinated with the car 😂🎉😂
Watching this from Canada 🇨🇦 and really like your content and your presentation style. Very well done and interesting. Keep up your great work ✔️ liking forward to more of your vids__
The official RR color is "carribean blue". My 75 Shadow and 81 Corniche are this color. My interiors are the same navy blue which is not my favorite. I would prefer a cream or tan color!
Loved the video as well as the car! It seemed like you were enjoying it, which is great to see. I’d like to see a Turbo R on the channel, I think you’d really appreciate one of those.
Yeah it’s a lovely old thing! No emphasis on performance, just pure style and luxury. I’ll see what I can do regarding the Turbo R, I can certainly appreciate them… thanks for watching 👍
Great video, what a lovely car!. Classic remark about the Asda car park 🤣. If you ever get your hands on a BMW e38 I would love to see the video. Good luck with the channel hope it grows and grows 👍
You need to work on the accuracy of some of the history. The coupe was not made after 1981 (though I believe one or two were registered in 1982). There was also a fairly big upgrade for 1977 (big enough for the Silver Shadow to become the Silver Shadow II, though the Corniche didn't change series number). The steering switched from recirculating ball to rack and pinion amongst other changes. Easy way to spot a later model - look for the spoiler, rubber bumper and fog lights below the bumper.
@@carsandcustard Nor am I, but I know a little bit about a few cars (mainly pre-Merc Aston Martins). Really nice to see someone take the time to record a video of an old car like this. The Camargue would be nice to see too. And really nice to see someone take the time to answer a comment that wasn't gushing praise. Well done! I will have a look at what else you've produced.
Pedant's corner here; Thomas Crown drove the predecessor of this car, the Silver Shadow 2-door. "Crown's two-door Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow carried the Massachusetts vanity license plate "TC 100" for the film." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thomas_Crown_Affair_(1968_film)
The build quality of these coach built cars is on another level. Timeless elegance, but if you want an engaging driving experience then look elsewhere.
You really like talking crap don't you? The silver shadow is exactly the same just two fewer doors. You also need to stop comparing it with a range rover All RR are far far superior than a truck which is what a range rover basically is. Get some facts before you criticise any Rolls Royce
Wrong .....the two door saloon is not the same as a Silver Shadow ... it's coach built on the same base platform, however, the wings are special and are different shape, hand made and fitted, all the other panels are different, the radiator is slightly deeper, the engine is 10% more powerful...so you're wrong, I own a 1973 Two Door Saloon and THAT is stated on the ORIGINAL Rolls Royce Bill of sale I have, it took 10 months to build not 5 months as a Shadow and was 50% higher in price, mine cost £14,000 in 1973 the cost of two decent houses, and it's lovely, but costs on average £3000 a year to maintain and service, big boys toys
The Corniche coupe and convertible have significant differences to the Shadow The differences also vary depending on the year The body is massively different. External jewelry eg door handles are unique and much finer in early examples. The SU carbs are different and compression is generally different which overall give the car much more of a sporting appeal. Fun to drive. Interior is completely different.
This car is coming up for auction on the 26th July with H&H Classics.

I will have to follow this auction.

Old school British style and elegance. I would love to have this in my garage.
❤ it, extremely beautiful insanely stunning 1980 Corniche coupe, on my bucket list, was always a Dream car of mine..awesome video Cars & Custard.
A very nice, current day, real world assessment of this great car.
Kind words, thank you!
Jeremy: You got yourself a Ford Zephyr with a chrome nose.
The car is superbly elegant. It's your outfit that is absolutely out of place. You're not jogging on the seashore.
Very happy you mentioned that! Doug Demuro is the same. A slob reviewing masterpieces.
He is out of place and knows nothing about cars clearly. I mean that garage had Bms in and they are total crap and any car person would never have one
@@chrisdorrell1 😂👏
I really enjoyed your narration of the video of the car itself, and of some amusing issues in context to the car being a Rolls-Royce.
excellent video I would like 1980 s corniche coupes!!!!!

He is AWFUL
Me too!
Great video Harry! Well done
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I like the FHC, lovely car.

Well done presentation of the car. Thank you.
Kind words, thank you!
It would be nice to see a side by side with the carmargue to see if the extra cost is tangable.

I’ll definitely get my hands on an E38. Thanks for the kind words!
@@carsandcustard Cool, will look forward to it !
The RR badge on the rear bumper is incorrect, and added later.
Same with the badges on the C pillars.
Two door silver shadow she looks gorgeous a proper rolls Royce
Wonderful car with rock solid American General Motors transmission and air conditioning.

Belongs much closer to me...
There's a reason it was the car of choice for Thomas Crown.

@Treviscoe same MPW car...just changed the name in '71. In the film, it's just referred to as "the Rolls".
just needs a few quid spent on it to make it right
Does your friend wish to sell the car?
Car is up for auction on the 26th July. See my pinned comment for the link!
@carsandcustard does he wish to sell it privately?, I dont want to pay the fees.
@carsandcustard you didn't say if he wanted to sell it? Is it sold now?
Beauty , where abouts is he based, i have also :)
Stick to focus and fiestas !

I think there's a company called Bailey offered handling kits for the Shadows series cars that really transforms them.
no church in the wild brought me here
Luvlay Brummay accent my friend.
“failed porn director” 😂
That was a pathetic comment and not funny he is terrible.
Get the Carmargue on please!
I’ll see what I can do! Will be making videos again soon
I genuinely love this car....my dream car.....but the 'back-handed' compliments offered by the presenter annoy the crap out of me.
@@cadicorniche me too
The doors are sagging.
A jalopy.
Interesting clip, roll not good. Interesting about MOT

@mrjohncharlesbrown the coach built car are obviously bodily different. The underpinnings and ALL mechanicals are exactly the same
