The Silver Wraith was the post-war Rolls-Royce automobile that continued the tradition of custom
coachwork. A total of 1783 vehicles were built from 1946 to 1959. Until World War Two, Rolls-Royce
produced only the chassis and all of the bodies were crafted and added by coachbuilders. After the
war, the company’s products were much more homogeneous with most bodies being built by Rolls-Royce.

The Silver Wraith is the major exception with a huge variety of bodies being built during its
production run. Many of the body designs however, were built in batches of between ten and fifty.
This particular car features a very attractive "Freestone and Webb" Saloon body of which only a
total of five were produced. The chassis alone was priced at 2035 pounds sterling. With coachwork,
this car cost more than 3500 pounds sterling.
