6750cc petrol, automatic. This Rolls Royce Silver Wraith II is an extended wheelbase version of the Silver Shadow, offering extra legroom for rear passengers. This metallic brown example has a cream leather interior and the vendor tells us it runs well, although it would benefit from some restorative work. Although the car does drive, there is no record of a recent MoT and we have found the brakes to be weak.

It is supplied with its original handbook pack and current V5C, which indicates 6 former keepers. An insurance booklet also reveals that in the early 1980s it was registered to a Mr. Rushton of Wimbledon Sewing Machines, and the 4th keeper owned it for 27 years, from 1995 to 2022. The service book contains six service entries from Lex Mead in Bristol from 3,364 miles in 1976 to 27,992 miles in 1981. Today the indicated mileage is 34, which may represent 100,034 miles.
