Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith (chassis WRB15) is a well-maintained example of a rare, pre-war luxury car, one of only 491 produced. Featuring a 4,257cc engine, manual gearbox, and a striking black over red color scheme, it boasts a largely original interior. Having returned to the UK in 2023 after a period in The Netherlands, it's ready for a new owner to register it. While it has some age-related patina and needs UK registration, its overall condition and historical significance make it a desirable classic, estimated to sell between £20,000 - £30,000.
Condition
7
The car is in very good condition overall, with some minor blemishes and patina consistent with its age. The paintwork is well-presented, but there are a few minor issues around the windscreen and roof gutter. The interior is in excellent condition, with minimal signs of wear. Mechanically, the car runs smoothly, and the suspension and brakes are in good working order. The main downsides are the limited paperwork and the fact that it needs to be registered in the UK.
