Corniche and Camargue - Two-Door Models from Rolls-Royce and Bentley
NEW
This book traces the history of the Rolls-Royce and Bentley two-door luxury cars produced from the 1960s onwards. It explains how the famous Bentley Continental of the 1950s was succeeded by a new generation of elegant monocoque models, available as both fixed-head saloons and drophead coupés under the Rolls-Royce and Bentley brands.
In 1971, the range was renamed the Corniche and received the larger 6.75-litre V8 engine. Remaining in production for almost 25 years, the Corniche became one of the best-known luxury cars of its era. Convertible versions proved more popular than the saloons, reflecting the model's appeal as a prestigious grand touring car.
The book also covers the development of the Rolls-Royce Camargue, introduced in 1975 as a new two-door luxury model. Although intended to complement rather than directly replace the Corniche, the Camargue established its own identity through distinctive styling, limited production and its status as the world's most expensive production car at the time.
Featuring historical background, production details and illustrations, this book provides a comprehensive account of the Rolls-Royce Corniche and Camargue. It is a valuable reference for owners, enthusiasts and anyone interested in the history of Rolls-Royce and Bentley luxury automobiles.
