The Corniche convertible — built by Mulliner Park Ward — was the last traditional coachbuilt Rolls-Royce and would remain in continuous production for 24 years. Its 6.75-litre turbocharged V8 in Mulsanne specification produced in excess of 300 hp, though Rolls-Royce famously stated only that power was "sufficient."
