Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith LWB

An absolutely lovely example of a late Silver Wraith, and as such has the desirable 4.9 litre engine and power steering, which very few were fitted with. The car has recently had a fabulous quality total re-spray in metallic burgundy, and a high standard re-upholstery job in deep red, with re-finished woodwork, beautiful new carpets & headlining, etc, and the whole car looks magnificent! Excellent mechanically too, with a lovely, willing engine, driving very nicely, all in all making this a car to be proud of.
