Rolls-Royce Silver Wraight ? Headlights look very small... |

I think the word you were looking for was Wraith. |

Can anybody offer a convincing argument that this is a Wraith? The standard steel front wings and headlights make it more likely to be a Dawn. |

John, I take your point but why would anyone coachbuild on a Dawn? Aft of the scuttle it is obviously not the Dawn's standard body; it looks more like a Hooper Wraith or something similar to me. |

"Out of a total Silver Dawn run of 761 cars, 66 were coachbuilt" Graham Robson - The Rolls-Royce and Bentley Volume 1 Standard Production Models 1945 to 1965. It is possible that people wanted the shorter chassis with bespoke bodywork. The flatter roofline on the car pictured suggests a special, but the front end is definitely standard steel saloon parts. -- Last edit: 2009-03-18 13:47:30 |
