Rolls-Royce Camargue. 1975–86 (prod. 534). 2-door coupé. F/R, 6750 cm³ (V8 OHV). Called Project Delta internally. Top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce, with Pininfarina styling by Paolo Martin, and Silver Shadow platform. Launch delayed due to financial difficulties at Rolls-Royce, sharing a look with Fiat 130 Coupé, from the same styling house, that had launched some years before. Ostentatious and most expensive production car at the time, considered stylish during its run. First post-war Rolls-Royce to be designed out-of-house. Designed to metric dimensions with a slight seven-degree slant to the grille. First car to offer split-level climate control. A single Bentley Camargue was built in 1985.

Manufacturing location: Crewe, Cheshire, England
