It was built on the Silver Shadow platform and was the first Rolls model to have split-level air conditioning.

The front grille was unique to Rolls Royce in that it was slanted inwards. The Camargue was more expensive than the Corniche and more rare. During its 11 year production, 146 cars would be officially imported to the United States. Final models in 1986 were 80th Anniversary models - 12 would be built - all in white. Swiss coachbuilder Sbarro modified one Camargue into a unique looking Hunting Car.
