1980 Motorcar Silver Wraith II

PRICE REDUCED TO SELL! The 1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II represents the final evolution of the celebrated Silver Shadow series and stands as a pinnacle of British motoring refinement. As the long-wheelbase counterpart to the Silver Shadow II, the Silver Wraith II offered a heightened sense of formality, distinguished by its extended proportions, Everflex roof, smaller rear opera window, and elegant Corniche/Camargue-pattern wheel covers. Chassis number LRL039349, finished in an exquisite two-tone combination of Silver Sand over Athenian Blue with coordinating Dark Blue fine lines, presents in remarkable condition with just 43,555 original miles. As a final-year example, this Silver Wraith II encapsulates the craftsmanship and dignity that defined the marques coachbuilt era, making it both an exceptional driver and a highly collectible motorcar. Originally delivered in 1979 to its first owner on the West Coast, the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II spent over three decades in a private, museum-quality environment before joining a Canadian collectors summer driving collection. The car has been consistently maintained by marque specialists, preserving its original condition throughout. The odometer reading is consistent with its careful history of limited use, and the cars presentation throughout attests to its long-term preservation and gentle stewardship. The Silver Wraith II was produced in limited numbers, only 2,125 were built between 1977 and 1980, further enhancing the desirability of this exceptional final-year example. The exterior of the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II is two-toned, with Silver Sand upper panels and Athenian Blue lower sections. The paint retains a deep luster, displaying only minimal signs of age such as minor crackling and small touch-up spots. The coordinating Dark Blue Everflex roof is in excellent condition, and fine Royal Blue pinstriping accentuates the coachbuilt contours. The hand-polished brightwork and signature Flying Lady mascot underscore the cars commanding presence. The coachwork remains impressively straight and the distinctive long-wheelbase proportions are seamlessly integrated, preserving the design balance while adding four inches to rear-seat legroom. Inside, the Rolls-Royce presents the serene luxury expected of the brand. The cabin features original Beige Connolly hides with Dark Blue piping accents, showing gentle creasing consistent with age, complemented by beautifully preserved rich Lombardy walnut veneers. The Wilton wool carpeting and Dark Blue Mouton lambswool overlays remain in very good condition, reflecting careful ownership. The hides display the rich depth and texture typical of Connolly Vaumol leather with Luxan Grain, a natural, hand-rubbed finish that gives the leather its subtle burnished tones. Soft, supple, and well-preserved, the leather presents with just the slightest, correct patina. Every surface reflects the care of its owners, and the quality craftsmanship Rolls-Royce is known for. Interior amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control with functioning cold air conditioning, a Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo with Pioneer cassette deck, power locks and cruise control. Overall, the interior remains a warm, inviting environment that reflects both craftsmanship and comfort. Mechanically, this Silver Wraith II is powered by the venerable 6.75-liter V8 engine paired with a smooth GM-sourced three-speed automatic transmission. The car retains Rolls-Royces hallmark hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension, offering a magic carpet ride that isolates occupants from the road. Four-wheel disc brakes remain firm and responsive, and the steering and suspension hydraulics perform smoothly. The car is accompanied by a Rolls-Royce build sheet, matching numbers confirmation from the RROC, partial service records and a nearly complete factory tool kit, missing only one bulb from the replacement set. The cars road manners are serene and stately, perfectly befitting the grandeur of
