This Silver Wraith wears coachwork by Carrosserie Franay. Only six drophead coupe bodies were built on the Silver Wraith chassis, and this is the first one. Each of the six examples were different.

This example was originally owned by Dr. M. Adel Latif of Geneva, Switzerland and is the 148th examples from the start of production. Since that time, the car has been restored and painted blue with a blue leather interior and a dark blue canvas top.

In 2011, the car was offered for sale at RM Auction's Arizona sale where it was estimated to sell for $125,000 - $150,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $165,000, inclusive of buyer's premium.
