Also known as "The Kings Rolls Royce" this rare Silver Wraith has the original drive train; 6 cylinder in-line engine, bore x stroke 92.08 x 114.3 mm (3 5/8 x 4 1/2 in), capacity 4,566 cc with twin SU carburettors; single dry plate clutch mated to a 4-speed gearbox. This is a running/driving vehicle with no mechanical/electrical issues. All the brake lines have been replaced and the car accelerates, turns, and stops as it should. This Silver Wraith was properly stored and untouched in a heated storage garage for the last 6 years. We were able to revive it effortlessly and get it in the current condition it is in now. The mileage displayed on the working odometer is 73686, but it cannot be guaranteed that it hasn't rolled at least once. This is a rare right hand drive with coach work by H.J. Mulliner of London. I will try to be as honest as I can with describing the condition of the car. I would rate the overall condition of the vehicle as average. This definately a 5 footer car. It looks great in the photos and from 5 feet away. Up close there are minor flaws in the paint, with paint chips/cracks hear and there. There are at least two half dollar areas where the paint has started to bubble. The chrome is in very good shape for a 60 plus year old car. The leather interior looks to be redone, with no cracks or tears. The electric partition window goes up and down as it should. The wood dash will need some attention/re-coating, there is definately signs of wear. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate the car as follows: Exterior - 7 Dash - 5 Interior Leather - 9 Overall Condition - 7.5 The NADA classic car guide prices this vehicle to an average value of $26000 http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1952/Rolls-Royce/Silver-Wraith/4-Door-Sedan/Values I can help load this car on a trailer or you can drive it home (assuming you are within a 50 mile radius). We've been cruising this Silver Wraith around town, but have not yet taken it on long distance drives over 50 mile distances. If you are local or want to fly in, the car is available for inspection any time. This was my 70 year old dad's retirement project, but he has now set his eyes on new projects...his grand kids. The car has a clear California title in my dad's and my name, so we can show it any time. Car can be used for a limo service, promotions, winery tours, or cruise it around town and impress your neighbors. $1000 deposit required within 24 hour after auction end.
