In 1938, Rolls-Royce introduced an entirely new and smaller design named the Wraith. Some consider it to be the quietest Rolls-Royce ever built. Not many were built as the gathering clouds of war cast a somber note of its future. The Wraith was only built for two years and today is one of the rarest of all Rolls-Royces.
This example was custom-bodied by James Young Ltd., of Derby, England. Its Touring Limousine body rests comfortably on a 136-inch platform and is number $470 of 491 produced.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2011
