1939 Rolls-Royce Wraith Park Ward Limousine For Sale

We have been custodians of this car for 15 years and due to lack of use we have decided that someone else should be enjoying it as much as we have.
One of only 491 Wraiths built, this long wheel base chassis no WLB 39 is fitted with a Park Ward limousine body and has under gone a ground up restoration regardless of cost. The car has only done on average 150 miles a year since 2005. The restoration was completed just in time for our daughters' wedding. It is finished in Rolls-Royce Oxford blue and black.
Purchased from new by the Royal Navy in 1939 it was used until 1958 before passing into civilian life. It was reputed to have been used by admirals and naval top brass , Lord Mountbatten , the 1st sea Lord was rumered to have travelled in it during a VE Day parade around 1945/ 46. The mounting for the roof pennant still remains sadly the pennant has long gone. We have the original brass naval identification plate and are continuing to research its history.
The seats are trimmed in grey Connolly hide which originally came from Rolls-Royce. The head lining is light grey West of England cloth with Wilton carpets. New walnut veneer has been fitted and French polished along with all the interior wood work to a very high standard. Fold out occasional seats rear heater and electric central division complete a stunning interior.
Every piece of interior and exterior bright work has been re chromed to a very high standard. Lucas QK596 head lamps have been fitted at some stage in its history which in my opinion complement the front of the car.
The car has a very interesting history having spent a period of time in America before returning to the UK in the early 1990s. We have a large collection of photos and notes taken before, during and after the restoration.
We have won many awards with the car including 'Best in show' at the prestigious Chatsworth Country Fair.
The car has independent front suspension, adjustable shock absorbers adjusted on the steering wheel and a mechanical brake servo. All the under trays are present and it is a matching numbers car. note, the front indicators shown in the photo have now been removed and incorporated into the torpedo side lights. The original semaphore traficators are present and working.
We are situated in the Peak District half way between Manchester and Sheffield. Please ring for more details.
