Depreciation patterns revealing value trends
The Rolls Royce Corniche depreciation curve follows the typical luxury‑classic progression: a steep slide during the first year followed by gradual stabilization. Typically, a well‑maintained 1977 cannot lose more than 15–20 % of its purchase value in the first 12 months, especially if it retains original factory components. From year two to five, depreciation commonly averages 5–8 % per year, reflecting increasing scarcity. In the long term — beyond five years — the value decline slows, often picking up slightly again as numbers of fully restored examples rise.
The rise in value is frequently driven by restoration quality. Cars that retain the original paint finish, chrome accents, and 1‑inch thick stainless steel body panels tend to hold price better due to the high restoration cost. Conversely, an engine that has an early M88/9 modification, a modern “Powertrain” surrogate, or an aftermarket headpipe will lose resale potential. Therefore, to evaluate a specific vehicle’s rolls Royce corniche price, it is essential to focus on originality and condition.
