This car has been subject to a great deal of high quality work in recent times. including a full re-paint to a very high standard. new upholstery. carpets. headlining. all in black and woodwork restored to a lovely. satin finish. far nicer and more appropriate than the high gloss modern products sometimes used. The chrome is very good as well. and the car is sound. extremely smart. running well and all in all is an excellent example of an early Silver Wraith. which is offered prepared. serviced and will be newly Mo T tested.
