Full description
The Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith is a luxury car that was produced in Great Britain in various forms from 1965 to 1980. Initially, the long-wheelbase model did not have a separate name, but in 1976, with the introduction of the Silver Shadow II, the longer car was dubbed the Silver Wraith II.
The Wraith II is identified by all of alterations found on the Silver Shadow II and additionally an Everflex-covered roof (also available as an option on the Silver Shadow II), a smaller rear opera-style window and different wheel covers. Some Silver Wraith IIs were also fitted with electric divisions which took up the extra 10 cm of leg room in the rear. Vehicles fitted with the division are now considered highly desirable.
Introduced in October 1965, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was the first Rolls to employ unit-body construction. Displacement of the Silver Shadow V-8 engine was increased to 6.75 liters in 1970, with a corresponding increase to 220 horsepower. In addition to GM’s reliable 400 Turbo Hydra-Matic 4-speed automatic transmission, the Silver Shadow also featured an innovative self-levelling hydraulic suspension system and dual-circuit braking to provide legendary ride quality in practically any driving conditions. While outwardly virtually identical to the early Silver Shadows, late-Seventies models featured over 2,000 improvements, all of which were incorporated in the new-for-1977 Silver Wraith.
Also Princess Margaret owned a Rolls Royce Silver Wraith.
This car has covered 9,271 miles.
