The lengthy name was finally reduced to the Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible in 1971 when the car received minor update. The exterior design was created by John Polwhele Blatchley and the car was assembled alongside the Corniche Coup'e at Rolls-Royce’s London H J Mulliner Park Ward facility. Production finally moved to Crewe in 1994 when the London works closed.
