Fabulously original ‘garage find’ example of the seldom seen Silver Wraith II in remarkably good condition. Offered without Reserve.

DESCRIPTION

Offered on behalf of a deceased estate with No Reserve
One of just 2,135 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith IIs that were produced between 1977 and 1980, essentially a long-wheelbase variant of the Silver Shadow II
A cherished gift presented to our late vendor in 1997 from an engineering firm to one of it’s directors upon retirement in 1997
It was a beloved family car for many years, touring to the French Riviera for summer holidays
Due to health reasons the car was parked up and dry stored in the family garage in recent years, gathering dust. It is now presented to market in need of mechanical recommissioning/restoration
Finished in Walnut over cream leather, the interior condition of the car is remarkably well kept, presenting nicely
With just three former keepers, this is a lovely opportunity to acquire a fabulous motorcar and bring it back to its former glory
