The Corniche Shooting Brake by Rolls-Royce
This vehicle is a unique blend of family heirloom and work of art. The Niels van Roij Rolls-Royce Corniche has undergone a 2.5-year transformation from a coupé to a shooting brake.
Fresh from its conversion, the car was taken for a spin, with the owner having driven it for only 20 minutes prior. The weight of responsibility was palpable, especially when navigating through rush hour traffic in the rain.
It’s not unusual for complete strangers to entrust me with their cars, but it is unusual for the offer to come with what feels like such a weight of responsibility.
The car, nicknamed Henry II, has a reassuring presence, making the driver feel looked after.
