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:- Coachwork by J. Gurney Nutting- California Car-
