Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith, chassis number FLW7, features coachwork by Park Ward and was originally a company car for Rolls-Royce Ltd. The car is in good driver-quality condition, with a recently reupholstered front seat, but shows signs of age and corrosion, and requires mechanical recommissioning due to long-term storage.
Offered to benefit the Rolls-Royce Foundation, this Silver Wraith presents an opportunity to acquire a classic automobile for a worthy cause.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in "good driver-quality condition throughout, with some age visible to the finishes". Corrosion is visible at the bottom of the doors, and to the aluminum fender liners and fender and bumper mounts. The car has been in long-term storage and will require mechanical recommissioning prior to use. These factors suggest a condition rating of 6, which indicates moderate wear and the need for some reconditioning.
