Vehicle Description
Here is a really fine and stunning example of a Silver Wraith II.
It is the rare fuel injection model built specifically for the
Californian market. These were only built in 1980 - the last year
of the Silver Shadow model run. This one is production run 41,603C
- the "C" suffix is for California fuel injection model.. With the
last Silver Shadow/Wraith II being 41,648C, this car is within the
last 50 Silver Wraith IIs ever made! In fact, of the 35,000 Silver
Shadows, this one is one of the last. The Silver Wraith II is the
long wheel base version of the Silver Shadow II. Easily identified
by the same rear window (opera window) and standard fitment
Everflex vinyl top, it is 4" longer in the rear door. This provides
a noticeable increase in rear passenger space. This example is
finished in gorgeous 2-tone Caribbean Blue over Shell Grey (silver)
metallic with a matching grey Everflex top. Dual hand-painted
fine-lines in grey adorn the waist-rails. The interior is finished
in a very rich Navy blue with grey seat piping and rug binding to
carry through the external colour theme of blue and grey. This is a
totally clean and unmolested example that has been lovingly
maintained all its life. It presents in original fashion right down
to its factory Blaupunkt push button radio and Pioneer cassette
player. A pampered Rolls-Royce, it was owned by a small-time
Atlanta based Rolls-Royce collector and enthusiast that has
lovingly maintained the car correctly. It is a Rolls-Royce that has
been regularly driven and even on long tours which is so good for
these cars. Having lived most its life in California she is very
clean and dry throughout. Only in the last ten years has she been
in the southern state and when not in use, always kept in a garaged
environment. The interior presents very beautifully. The navy blue
and grey piping theme is simply delightful. The leather is all in
excellent condition, supple and without any major imperfection. The
burr walnut wood finishes are very rich in grain and colour
contrast. The door cappings appear to have been re-finished at some
point (we estimate in the last 5 years) and were done extremely
well presenting in entirely original finish and consistency. They
are simply flawless. The rest of the wood on the dash is in good
condition and presents well with only minor imperfections. Head
lining is original and in super clean condition. The Wilton carpets
are in perfect condition. The boot (trunk) carpet also finished in
the same navy blue and grey piping theme is also in top condition.
The body on this Wraith II is straight and the paint is shiny and
lustrous. The car was repainted about 10 years ago and done so
extremely well at a cost of some $25,000. It is in excellent
presentation. It is entirely consistent with a deep lustre and
shine, in need of nothing going forward but keeping her that way.
The Everflex vinyl top is new from a few years ago and so presents
perfectly. This car also has the European (Rest of World)
colour-coded front air dam fitted. The whitewall tyres are in good
near new condition with plenty of tread. The hubcaps, unique to the
Wraith II, are excellent with no dents or imperfections. All
remaining bright-work is in good condition as is glass, electrics
and instruments. The odometer shows a very moderate 58,000 miles
and although not verifiable it is justifiable by the overall
condition of the car that they are original. For example, under the
bonnet, the presentation is amazing. It has not been precision
detailed but simply kept clean and tidy throughout its life. You
must take the time to look at the photos of the engine bay as its
presentation is of an extremely high standard. Simply stunning! The
car is of very high standard and is an easy 10 out of 10
driver-condition rating. Like all Park-Ward Motors' cars, she is
