1939 Rolls-Royce Wraith Sedanca DeVilleIntroducing this 1939
Rolls-Royce Wraith Sedanca deVille, featuring coachwork by J.
Gurney Nutting and recently released from long-term ownership.
Finished in medium grey with a tan interior and wood trim. The 1939
Wraith was the last pre-war model produced by Rolls-Royce. Only
about 492 chassis were built before production stopped during World
War II, making surviving examples scarce. Cars fitted with Gurney
Nutting Sedanca coachwork are particularly rare.Highlights:-
