The Rolls-Royce Camargue was introduced in March 1975 and was produced until 1986. The coachwork of the Camargue was hand built in London at the Mulliner division and was the first Post-War model not designed inside the factory; the design is the work of Paolo Martin, the famous Italian designer who was with Pininfarina at the time.  The Camargue was the most expensive and exclusive motorcar in the world with only about 530 produced over an 11-year period. Each car required 450 sq ft of leather hides for the interior and also features aero inspired instruments and gauges.  This Camargue was one of the last ever made and benefitted from the advanced fuel injection system that was reserved for US delivery models only.

Rallye Motors, Inc. of Glen Cove, NY special ordered this Camargue for Mr. Moritemer Grossman of Manhasset, NY.  The Camargue was hand-built in May of 1986 and on July 25th, 1986, was aboard the “Falmouth Bay” to the port in New Jersey.  Mr. Grossman received the Camargue on the 21st of August, 1986 and registered it under his company name of Steven 22 Company.  Mr. Grossman was 64 years old at that time and enjoyed the motorcar until 1991. By 1994, the Camargue was acquired by Gary and Louise Witham of Camden, Maine.  The Witham’s were longtime RROC members and participated in various events and showed the Camargue regularly.

The livery is in its original Acrylic Georgian Silver (Paint Code ICI 9510437) with its Black Everflex top (Trim Code 5218).  The Silver is complemented by Brick Red dual hand applied pinstripes that have been applied by us per the factory build sheets.  The paint is in overall beautiful condition with only a few small scratches that we show in the photo gallery.  The shine and luster are beautiful.  The factory alloy wheels were reserved for the later cars and look terrific.  New BF Goodrich T/A Radials have been installed by us as well.  Overall, the exterior of the Camargue is in very nice condition and reflect the 37,000 miles of use.

The interior features beautiful Black Nuella Leather (Trim Code 5000) with Brick Red Piping (Trim Code 5004).  The leather is very soft and supple and has no cracks or tears.  The leather shows little wear.  The Black Wilton Wool carpeting is bound in Brick Red Leather and the Black Sheepskin mouton overlays are in the front and rear.  The burl walnut veneer throughout is absolutely stunning and in excellent condition.  The original Blaupunkt Washington AM/FM Cassette stereo is still installed.  The Dual Zone air conditioning has been fully serviced and works very well.  Overall, the interior is in gorgeous original condition showing little wear.

The engine compartment is nearly as new.  The venerable 6.75-liter aluminum alloy V8 engine was the longest serving V8 in automotive history.  The transmission is the three speed GM400 automatic which has proven to be very robust.  The undercarriage looks nearly as new as well with its 120-inch wheelbase.  This Camargue has benefitted from a complete a major service and new radials in preparation for sale.

The Camargue has received steady and limited use over the years.  Much of the service work has been performed by Rallye Motors, Foreign Motors West and Albers, all Rolls-Royce dealerships.  We have just completed a full major service including new radial tires.  The mileage history has been:

• 1987:  2,248
• 1993:  15,001
• 1995:  16,661
• 1997: 18,584
• 2002:  28,432
• 2007:  37,691

The post 1987 Rolls-Royce Camargue, No. 1 of 12 appeared first on Classic Promenade.

As VIN X10399, this Camargue appears to be one of the very last custom-built Camargues, only to be followed by twelve Camargues offered in 1987, all in white with red interior.  This Camague is elegant and understated in Magnolia livery, tan Everflex top and replete in tan Nuella hides with lighter contrasting piping.  The paint and interior are completely original and in spectacular condition.  The leather is very soft and supple with no signs of wear.   Of course it has the luxurious mouton overlays.

Camargues are fabulous driving motorcars, with the same wheelbase as a Silver Wraith yet with the structural integrity only offered by a sporting coupe.  The Pininfarina design is gorgeous and is gaining more popularity every year.  As the absolute most expensive motorcar available in 1986 ($165,000 retail price), these are the pinnacle of technology and design for the era.

This motorcar is equipped with electronic fuel injection and has been maintained very well throughout its life.  It comes complete with a full set of service records, factory build sheets and records, manuals, tools, etc.

More details coming soon.  For questions please call Harry Clark at 602.245.7200 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com.
