About this car

This Silver Wraith carries non-division, razor-edge coachwork by Vincents of Reading, a coachbuilder less often seen on the chassis than Park Ward or Hooper. Without the division, the cabin is roomier than most, which suits an owner-driver. The page describes it as an Earls Court Motor Show car.

Paintwork is black over light cream and described as in good order, though it was photographed dull after a winter lay-up. The seats are trimmed in original maroon hide piped in beige, patinated but good, with a maroon Astrakhan rug in the rear. The woodwork is very good and the under-dash tool kit is complete.

The current owner has had it for about 14 years and describes it as reliable throughout. Earlier work by marque specialist Mark Taylor is documented in a bundle of bills. A new clutch has been fitted and the car has passed an MOT. The page says the mileage is low but gives no figure.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Rolls-Royce chassis specs (4,257cc inline-six with inlet-over-exhaust valves, front-engined, RWD). Rolls-Royce never published power ('adequate'). Weight and performance depend on the coachwork, and there are no factory figures for the Vincents body.).
