For Sale: 1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II in Englewood, Colorado

This is a California-spec Wraith that was fitted with the new Bosch fuel injection that became standard on the next-generation Silver Spirit & Silver Spur in 1981. Many Rolls enthusiasts prefer this earlier body style, making this a very desirable and rare car-last year of the preferred body style plus modern fuel injection. The Wraith name designates the more-desirable long wheelbase version for even greater comfort-analogous to the Silver Spur.

It was sold new at Rolls-Royce of Beverly Hills in early 1981 and maintained there by the first owner for twenty-six years, going to the second owner in 2007. We have copies of all the service records from that owner, who continued to diligently maintain the car for the next thirteen years. We are representing the Rolls for the third owner, who bought it in 2020. CarFax does not report on per-1982 cars, but the copious records appear to accurately track the mileage to the current 57K. The car was professionally repainted in its original colors prior to 2007 and the finish still presents exceptionally well. The car spent most of its life in Southern California and the underside is clear evidence of that benign climate.

In recent years it has had a transmission and hydraulic accumulator service, plus regular oil changes-the most recent was last month. It runs smoothly and quietly and is a pleasure to drive. In addition to the fabulous documentation, we have everything the car came with when first delivered: Original window sticker ($102,440), both keys, the complete bundle of owner's manuals, front & rear Mouton sheepskin carpet overlays, complete trunk tool & bulb kits and all the tire-changing equipment (including the gloves) that all looks new. For greater visibility, Bosch high-intensity H4 headlamps have been fitted plus LED bulbs in other exterior lamps. Factory seat track extenders to better accommodate a tall driver have been added as well. A $3200 cooling system service was just completed that included a new aluminum radiator.

It would be very difficult to find a better-documented, better cared-for or better-looking Wraith II than this example, which is also a terrific value.
