For much of the time that the Corniche was in production, a Bentley was regarded as little more than a slightly cheaper alternative to a Rolls-Royce.
This famous marque had yet to re-establish its reputation as maker of some of the world's fastest and most exciting sports saloons and Grand Tourers, a process that commenced in 1982 with launch of the Mulsanne Turbo.
Consequently, the Bentley Corniche was produced in much smaller numbers than its Rolls-Royce equivalent, despite being – arguably – the more handsome of the two.
Up to 1984, when the Bentley Corniche was renamed 'Continental', only 151 had been sold, compared to several thousand of the Rolls-Royce version! These rare cars are much sought after today.
Previously registered 'TST 525L' in the UK, the right-hand drive example offered here is one of only 45 Bentley Corniche 'Series 1' convertibles built between 1971 and 1976.
'13151' was purchased by the current vendor at Brooks' Olympia sale in November 1998.
