Buying or Selling a Rolls Royce Silver Wraith

Rolls Royce Silver WraithAs the Wraith was the last pre-war Rolls Royce, the Silver Wraith was first post World War II auto and Rolls Royce Ltd.s service to the Allied cause in the shape of aircraft parts and other materiel. It was announced as the encore for that line to which the 1939 Wraith and the 25/30 could claim membership, the string of smaller Rolls Royce cars. It was decided that a conservative vehicle would be a more appropriate gambit in an economy still spent from the war. The Silver Wraith would keep with the formula of a Rolls Royce chassis and mechanical parts with independent coachwork by builders like Park Ward and Hooper, but would be one of the last to follow what was becoming a dated model. Its wheelbase was about 127 inches (though a 133 inch was made available in 1951) and used a six-cylinder F-head engine originally designed for the cancelled Bentley Mark V.

Independent front suspension improved stability and handling, while synchromesh made manually shifting gears much smoother. In 1952 a Hydramatic automatic transmission from General Motors would become an option.

The Rolls Royce Silver Wraith was a very busy car owned by world leaders from Brazil to Denmark and appearing in feature films from James Bond to Batman. But you dont have to win an election or star in a movie to own one. Youll just need to exercise certain precautions as with any high-sum transaction. The importance of proper inspection and liberal research cant be understated.

This will maximize the value proposition and allow you to form an accurate assessment of conditions youll be buying under.
