1952 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Park Ward Saloon

Rolls-Royce already had a reputation as a royal car.

Models like the Phantom and Ghost were a natural choice not only for the crowned heads of the British Kingdom,

but also for leaders of other nations.

The Silver Wraith was no exception, unveiled in the late 1940s as a successor to the flagship Phantom.

This model also found its way into the garages of the world's rich and influential.

As before, Rolls-Royce manufactured prefabricated chassis with engines, then handed them over to coachbuilders, who fitted them with bodies of their own design.

One of the coachbuilders operating at the time was the Park Ward factory, responsible for bodywork for manufacturers such as Bugatti, Bentley, Alvis, and Rolls-Royce.

Vehicle history and condition:

This Rolls-Royce was part of a private car collection, maintained in good condition for many years.

However, over the past 30 years, it has traveled across Europe occasionally.

Used on longer journeys (including between Poland and Sweden), it performed admirably.

Many years ago, it underwent a thorough restoration, covering every aspect of the car, including a fresh coat of paint, which, however, suffered two scuffs on the rear fenders (symmetrically, on both sides of the car).

The interior is in impeccable condition, despite the addition of an aftermarket radio and speakers.

Wood and upholstery, both leather and fabric, are blemish-free and create an atmosphere of vintage opulence.

The 4.6-liter six-cylinder engine remains fully operational, and the gearbox operates smoothly through its full four-speed range.

The suspension, despite minor play, allows the Wraith to move confidently on both smooth and more challenging roads.

Before joining our offer, this Rolls-Royce underwent a service of key systems, such as the fuel and brake systems.

All fluids and the fuel pump were also replaced.

Silver Wraith began a successful new chapter for Rolls-Royce in the post-war period.

The combination of the brand's reputation, numerous bespoke bodyworks, advanced engineering shared with Bentley, and a renowned clientele create a fascinating combination.

Today, revered by collectors and automotive enthusiasts alike, it represents the golden era of Rolls-Royce's commitment to being synonymous with luxury.

The recent restoration was carried out meticulously and without sparing any materials, ensuring it will be enjoyed for many years to come.

The Rolls-Royce we offer is in working order and has a long history behind it.
