2015 Rolls-Royce Wraith

The Wraith is the most driver-focused car Rolls-Royce has produced in the modern era — a fastback grand tourer built on the Ghost's platform but given a longer wheelbase, coach doors, and a 6.6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 tuned to 624 bhp. The result is a machine that feels genuinely quick while still delivering the marque's signature isolation from the outside world. This 2015 example, in Silver Metallic over Navy Blue leather, has covered 36,500 miles — modest usage for an eleven-year-old V12 GT, and the kind of mileage that suggests occasional long-distance use rather than daily commuting.

The specification is well-optioned without being excessive. The Starlight Roof Liner is the standout — Rolls-Royce's hand-fitted fibre optic headlining that transforms the cabin ceiling into a night sky and remains one of the most atmospheric interior features in any production car. Alongside it: Night Vision with Pedestrian Recognition, Head-Up Display, and the Driver Assistance Plus Package covering adaptive cruise and lane keep assist. Curiously, the car is fitted with Black Badge alloy wheels despite being a standard Wraith — a subtle but effective aesthetic upgrade that darkens the exterior profile without the full Black Badge conversion.

The Navy Blue leather paired with Piano Black interior veneer and RR monogrammed headrests makes for a coherent, unhurried interior scheme. Lambswool foot mats and the Comfort Access system complete the specification. Priced on application.
