2018 Rolls-Royce Wraith

The Rolls-Royce Wraith is the marque's grand touring fastback — lower, wider and more driver-focused than the Ghost it's based on, with a 6.6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 producing 624 bhp routed through an eight-speed automatic. This 2018 example (68-plate) has covered just 24,620 miles across two owners, which by any measure is light use for a car now eight years old.

The options list reflects a well-considered build. The Starlight headliner finished in Oatmeal is one of the Wraith's signature party pieces, and here it's complemented by a bespoke interior scheme, extended leather headlining, and Piano Black veneer trim. Outside, the car rides on 21-inch ten-spoke part-polished alloys. The specification also includes the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Audio system, 360-degree camera, Driver Assistance Systems Two, and dynamic cruise control — a thorough tick-list of the available comfort and technology options.

With a 0–60 time of 4.4 seconds and a governed 155 mph top speed, the Wraith delivers genuine performance beneath its formal exterior. The Black exterior is a clean and appropriately understated choice for the car's fastback silhouette, and the low mileage means the interior should be presenting very well indeed.
