Its story
The 1978 Rolls-Royce Corniche is a legendary luxury automobile, celebrated for its elegance, refinement, and timeless presence. Produced during an era when craftsmanship and exclusivity defined the brand, the Corniche stood out as a symbol of prestige and sophistication. With its graceful lines, handcrafted details, and convertible or coupé body styles, it perfectly embodied the spirit of grand touring.
Equipped with a robust 6.75-liter V8 engine paired with a smooth automatic transmission, the Corniche delivered effortless performance and exceptional comfort. Advanced features for its time, such as power-assisted steering, self-leveling suspension, and a luxuriously appointed interior with the finest leather and wood veneers, made it one of the most distinguished cars of the late 1970s.
The Corniche was especially popular among celebrities, royals, and influential personalities, who were drawn to its exclusivity and unmatched comfort. Its combination of quiet power, refined style, and commanding presence turned it into a cultural icon of luxury motoring.
Today, the 1978 Rolls-Royce Corniche is a highly desirable collector’s car, admired for its craftsmanship and elegance. At Sunset Ride, this vehicle is available exclusively with a chauffeur, ensuring an experience that is as refined and luxurious as the car itself. It continues to represent Rolls-Royce’s legacy of excellence and remains an enduring symbol of timeless luxury.

Driving the Rolls Royce Corniche
The Corniche is only available with a chauffeur, so your one job is to settle in and watch the Promenade des Anglais slide by. You judge it from the back seat, and that is where it shines. The big V8 and automatic gearbox move the car along in hushed silence without a single jolt, and the suspension smooths out cobbles and speed bumps with a softness that feels nothing like an old car. That calm is what makes it the wedding car par excellence: the dress stays uncreased, the couple can enjoy the ride, and the chauffeur handles parking, photo stops and keeping to the schedule. It has four seats, including the chauffeur's. For a film shoot or an event, its presence alone sets the scene.
Where to drive it
For a wedding in Nice, think of the drive as a sequence of shots: leaving the villa or hotel, a slow pass along the Promenade des Anglais, a photo stop on the Quai Rauba-Capeu below Castle Hill, then on to the ceremony and the reception venue. The chauffeur adjusts the route to your timings and the traffic, and the package includes six hours of chauffeur service. If the reception is in Villefranche or on Cap Ferrat, the Lower Corniche gives you one last view over the bay on arrival.
