Story

It took two years to perfect the convertible version of the brand's first hatchback with a monocoque body.
To achieve a sufficiently reinforced body, the engineers had to make radical changes to the platform.
Like its Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow convertible twin, the Bentley T Series convertible 
changed its name in 1971 to Corniche, the same name used by both brands.
Until 1984, only the front grille distinguished a Bentley Corniche from a Rolls-Royce Corniche. 
Sales of the Bentley then became confidential. 
In July 1984, the decision was taken to better differentiate the Bentley model, which
was then distinguished by a new name, Continental, a famous label, a radiator grille painted the same colour as the bodywork and new wheels. 
As a result, the car enjoyed renewed interest from its target audience, making 
Bentley slightly more exclusive than Rolls-Royce. 
The balance of sales between the two models then narrowed considerably, with 456
Bentley Continentals sold between 1984 and 1995 compared with 1,921 Rolls-Royce Corniches.
After 1995, the situation was reversed in Bentley's favour. 
The Continental was replaced by the Azure convertible, derived from the
Continental coupé, while the Rolls-Royce Corniche did not follow in its footsteps.
