Description
The Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II offered several important advantages over the standard Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II, making it the preferred choice for buyers seeking the highest level of comfort, prestige, and luxury during the late1970s; little has changed today for those in the know!
This Wraith II has been used little but very well look after since its purchase from a recognised Rolls-Royce specialist in 2010. Infact, the mileage has only just crept a matter of a few thousand miles in this time but the continued expenditure has been in excess of £28, 000, again at a well know specialist, Royce Engineering as it was then, this being on the back of a previous service again by R-E, amounting to £11, 190!
The last invoice less than 200 miles ago amounted to £12, 991 and covered items included but no limited to: 'A' service, new silencers, manifold gaskets, new radiator, 2 new tyres, carburettor overhaul, repair steering rack and lots more beside... all work is clearly itemised on their invoices.
Finished in the striking combination of Caribbean Blue with a dark blue Everflex roof which is matched to a dark blue leather interior. As you see from the photographs this Wraith remains in very good condition and has in our view a commensurate amount of wear/ patination across both its exterior/ interior given its age, making it a very nice and usable car.
As we have said many times over the years, these are amongst our favourite cars to simply "waft" around in and arguably many others also continue to agree, that said, good ones with low mileage are becoming harder to find, so this example having covered just 65, 250 miles, plus the benefit of comprehensive historical services/ mots, certainly makes it a rare find nowadays.
There's a huge amount of road presence and sophistication on tap for what is ultimately the price of an entry level VW Polo!
As an aside, this Wraith has been used in an episode of Jilly Cooper's "Rivals" which is about to be aired and certainly steals the scene... take a look!
We would be delighted to arrange a viewing at our Rudgwick (West Sussex) showroom, or to discuss this Rolls-Royce in further detail, please contact Julien Sumner on the details below.
