"Few names in the modern coachbuilding world command the reverence of Niels van Roij Design, and few cars embody the golden age of British luxury like the Rolls-Royce Corniche. When these two legacies intersect, the result is something extraordinary. Enter the Rolls-Royce Corniche "Henry II" Shooting Brake, a meticulous reimagining of a 1981 classic that honors its heritage while introducing an entirely new chapter of bespoke automotive artistry."
"Owned by the same family for over four decades, this particular Corniche - affectionately nicknamed "Henry" - carried stories, miles, and memories spanning generations. Now, under the vision of Dutch designer Niels van Roij, "Henry" has been reborn as Henry II, a bespoke Shooting Brake that transforms the coupe's stately elegance into something refreshingly utilitarian without compromising its aristocratic charm."
A 1981 Rolls-Royce Corniche formerly owned by one family for over forty years has been reimagined as the Henry II Shooting Brake. The project retains the Corniche's Rolls-Royce DNA and handcrafted Crewe origins while introducing practical grand touring versatility. Bodywork was re-engineered from the B-pillar, incorporating a new roofline, redesigned C-pillars, extended rear panels, and a reimagined trunk lid. The elongated silhouette alters proportions naturally, combining reverent respect for the original with daring contemporary coachbuilding. The result emphasizes craftsmanship, presence, and a balance between aristocratic elegance and functional utility.
