North America left handdrive. very rare model of Silver Wraith II. Manufactured inmid-December, 1980 in Crewe, Cheshire, England. The lowest chassis number onthe entire production of the Rolls Royce Silver Wraith II model was 30083(January, 1977). The highest chassis number produced was 41648 (late December,1980). The V.I.N. on this car is LRL-41641. This number indicates that of the2,132 (or so) motorcars produced of this model by Rolls Royce during thisperiod, only SEVEN additional Silver Wraith II's were manufactured AFTER thiscar, making this is one of the very last of it’s kind ever built. As result,the car incorporates all of the small design improvements developed by RollsRoyce up to this period, and prior to the discontinuation of this model up tothe end of 1980. This car truly is “the best of the last”!Extendedwheelbase version of the popular Silver Shadow II. Car length: 207.5” (17’ 3”). Width 71”.Height: 59.75” (4’ 11 ¾”). Wheelbase: 124” (10’ 4”). The Silver WraithII was considered the top-of-the-line for Rolls-Royce during this time. Exterior color is porcelain white with Blue piping along chromestrip. Inside door sills and jams are clean and tidy, and have beenretouched by owner. Back seating area is 4” longerthan the non-long wheel based model, providing noticeable increase in rearpassenger space and comfort. Used by current owner as bridal and wedding carthe last seasons. Stored in heated climatecontrolled all brick facility with full concrete floor,(with car covered when not in use). Freed from the perils ofharsh weather and snow. Under carriage is very clean! Seems to have been wellmaintained and serviced by owners (3). Owner #1 was from Texas. Owner #2 fromFlorida. Owner #3 is seller. Wraith II comes with its original jack, andowner’s operating manual. This Wraith has rich and complementary Navy blue leatherinterior. Light ‘amber’ burled walnut wood paneling are original and have neverbeen redone, and displays lovely grain throughout. Thewood presents nicely on the back doors, and looks like new. Front diver sidedoor has part of the veneer on far right side broken off (though we have thepieces). Front passenger door wood has small crack on left side, otherwisegreat condition. We do not, however, think it warrants redoing but this issubjective. EXTERIOR: White Everflexvinyl top (exclusive to Silver Wraith II’s), presents well but with someage blemishes across the top of the front windscreen, and roof blemish. With hand-painted fine lines to the waist-rails finished incontrasting Blue to match car interior color. All glass,chrome and bright work are excellent.

Clock not working (also tocheck wiring). The body is straight and the paint is shiny and lustrous (as youcan see from the attached pictures). Overall shiny and crisp and presents verynicely, certainly well above average for motorcar closing in on 40 years ofage! To best of seller’s knowledge, this car was never winter driven, so nosalt corrosion. Rack-and-Pinion power steering. Disk brakes.

The odometer shows littleunder 20,000 miles (not kilometers), and, although not verifiable with actualpaperwork, it is apparent by the overall condition of the car that it iscommensurate with the car’s condition.
