Vehicle Description
1980 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith II
Open the door, and step into an interior that cocoons you from the
outside world. Breathe in the best of British coach building,
Wilton carpeting, Connolly hide and burl walnut veneers,
painstakingly attended to during the 8 month build process. The
Rolls Royce Silver Wraith II with its elongated passenger
compartment, surrounds its owner with luxury reserved for only the
few, who live life to the fullest, and reap the rewards of their
success.
This ultra-luxury vehicle, has been well maintained with documented
service records, run several days a week as a local commuter, and
has been well received at numerous automobile events. The car's
provenance is on record with the International Rolls Royce
Foundation in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. An iconic automobile,
typically seen on television, or on the silver screen, it holds a
current inspection, so it can be test driven, anytime,
anywhere.
Exterior
Sage green paint covers the exterior and a dark green Everflex
vinyl top. Hand painted dark green pin striping parallels a chrome
side trim piece and runs the length of the coach each side. The
bonnet, boot, and door skins are aluminum to save weight. Dual
round side by side headlights are in an oval field of gleaming
chrome, and mirror each other next to an iconic radiator grille,
which is hand made, and polished for 5 hours to perfection prior to
be assembled on the vehicle. The grille is topped by a sprung
anti-theft Spirit of Ecstasy ornament in silver. Below her, is an
interlinked RR logo. On both windshield A pillars there has been
some evident repair bodywork, as well as very slight cracking of
paint on driver's fender near A pillar. Paint is in excellent
condition and appears to be a very exacting color match
repaint.
Interior
Hand stitched green leather wide bucket style seats in front, and a
spacious leather bench seat with a center console stretches the
width of the back passenger compartment. Cinnamon carpeting
provides an interesting contrast to the green leather. Side door
panels have a combination of walnut burl veneer, green leather, and
cinnamon carpeting, and include controls for windows and locks. A
leather front console has seating position joystick controls, and
storage for cassette music. The beautiful walnut burl dash has a
dizzying array of warning lights, essential gauges, an AM/FM
stereo, and a separate cassette player. A beautiful black steering
wheel perched in front of the instrument cluster and dash will make
any chauffeur proud.
Drivetrain
Rolls Royce's well tried 6.7-liter V8 engine with (2) SU
carburetors with upgraded air conditioning system and larger
radiator, allows the car to idle smoothly and keep the passengers
cool with no engine overheating. A new front steering system has
been installed and you can be assured to be whisked by your
chauffeur down any surface road, without spilling your drink with
the Citroen hydro-pneumatic rear suspension.
Documentation and Extras
A complete history of the work done on this vehicle is included in
an extra folder. A chauffeur hat, and large jar of Grey Poupon
Mustard (tongue-in-cheek) and a complete picnic basket as well as
some extra photos are included.
The spirit of ecstasy and the double R set the standard, the saloon
for the patrician, in true 1980's British style. A hand-built
automobile is reserved for the very few, and a classic for even
fewer. A chance to experience the elegance is here for the taking,
and yes, the silver dollar does not fall off the engine during an
idle!
