Vehicle Description
The Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II was styled by John Blatchley.
Between 1975 and 1980, just 2,135 examples were produced. The cars
came equipped with rack-and-pinion power steering, automatic
transmission, advanced air conditioning, and more.
Rolls-Royce considered offering a more exclusive, long-wheelbase
Phantom VII model based on the Silver Shadow, but production was
not pursued and no prototypes were built. Instead, a long-wheelbase
variant, some 4 inches longer to provide additional rear seat
legroom, was offered.
Initially, the long-wheelbase model did not have a separate name,
but in 1976, with the introduction of the Silver Shadow II, the
longer car was dubbed the Silver Wraith II.
The Wraith II is identified by all alterations found on the Silver
Shadow II and additionally an Everflex-covered roof (also available
as an option on the Silver Shadow II), a smaller, more formal rear
window and different wheel covers.
Only 2,135 were built representing a tiny fraction of the number of
Shadows built.
Equipped with its original 6.75 liter V-8 engine, this Wraith II is
in near showroom condition. It has been fastidiously maintained by
ownership and all mechanical and cosmetic aspects have been
carefully attended to.
The paint is several years old and looks nearly perfect. The trim
and brightwork is in excellent condition. The interior is perfect
with sumptuous leather and wood throughout.
The car has a couple of tasteful upgrades including a Nardi
performance wood steering wheel and a modern touch screen radio
with phone interface.
Mechanically, this Rolls is fit as a fiddle with full records and
maintenance by current ownership.
