Chassis Number: SCAYJ42A7HCX10401
As the ultimate model featured in Rolls-Royce’s 1987 catalog, the Camargue represented a pinnacle of styling, technical innovation and — of course — price for the storied marque. The Camargue’s distinctive styling is the result of collaboration with Pininfarina, a unique design decision which certainly produced a unique outcome. The Camargue’s Italian lines conceal its length, just as its self-leveling suspension and 6.75-liter V8 belie its hefty weight and luxurious configuration. Just 531 examples are known to have been produced between 1976 and 1987; none are more alluring than the final 12 Camargue chassis produced, each of which received a suite of unique fittings and accoutrements denoting their “bookend” status.
All 12 of the “Final Edition” Camargue chassis received the distinctive livery of Acrylic White over Scarlet Nuella hides with white piping, walnut-burl trim and white Everflex vinyl roof. Most importantly, a suite of unique silver inlays adorned the cabin, complete with a matching set of accessories deposited in the rear divider. Rolls-Royce’s rear parking sensor, dual-zone air-conditioning system and anti-theft alarm were also included as standard fare.
This notable Camargue was modified prior to delivery with the fitment of bulletproof bodywork via the addition of Kevlar panels and multi-pane glass side windows and front windscreen.
In preparation for sale, the consignor has recently commissioned Palma Classic Cars of Audubon, NJ, to complete a comprehensive service including fluids, belts and a safety inspection. This example comes with over 20 years of maintenance records, history file, warranty records, as well as manuals, spare and jack, and four glass tumblers that stow away beneath the rear armrest.
