About this car

This 1981 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II is one of the last of the line to be built. The Silver Wraith II was the long-wheelbase version of the Silver Shadow-derived Silver Spirit-era range, and it is a rarer sight than the standard-wheelbase saloon. This car is right-hand drive and petrol-powered, with a 6,750 cc engine.

It wears its original colour combination of Silver Sand over Chocolate leather piped in Cream. The car was first owned, and for much of its life used, by the Saudi Royal Family while in London. It has had just four owners from new.

The dealer reports extensive restoration work in recent years, with around £80,000 of bills on file. Mileage is not stated on the page, and the dealer says further details are to follow.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Rolls-Royce engine/drivetrain specification only. Power was never published ('adequate'), and no confirmed factory weight, top speed or 0-60 figures exist. Production is usually dated 1977–1980, so a 1981 model year is doubtful.).

Engine: 6,750 cc, 8 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
Induction: Naturally aspirated
