This Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith presents and drives beautifully.
All of the upholstery and the burl walnut timber are in very good condition as are the gauges and switches which are fully functional. New carpets. Sliding roof. Door hinges are very strong. While cruising the oil pressure indicates a steady 25 lbs and water temperature around 80° C.
Accompanying this car is a copy of the original build sheets from Rolls-Royce, an original owner’s manual (in French but I can have an English book), an original sales catalog of the Hooper Silver Wraith coachwork from the early fifties. There is also a big tools kit (almost complete), jack, pump, starting handle and spare wheel.
My car is located in Belgium. Video chat near the car is possible through FaceTime, Messenger or WhatsApp.
I can help for shipping oversea.
