1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith Navigation
This 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith Seven-Passenger Limousine has a coil spring independent front suspension, live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, and four-wheel servo-assisted brakes. The 4257cc overhead valve six-cylinder engine is mated to a four-speed manual gearbox and rests comfortably in the 136-inch wheelbase. The coachwork was handled by Inskip and is still in good condition in modern times. The chrome has lost some of its luster and the paint has been touched up in certain places. The top has been recovered with new material and the tires have recently been replaced. The odometer reads 43,944 miles since new.
In 2008 it was brought to the Automobiles of Amelia presented by RM Auctions where it was estimated to sell for $30,000 - 40,000. With only 491 examples of the Wraith produced, and only a few making it to the United States, this car is certainly a rarity. Bidding reflected as the high bid soon surpassed the estimated value. The lot was sold for the sum of $50,600 including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2008
