The Silver Wraith II was the long-wheelbase version of the Silver Shadow II, produced between 1977 and 1980. The chassis was stretched by 4 inches to provide more room for rear-seat passengers, a feature complemented by a standard Everflex vinyl roof that signaled its more formal intentions. It shared the Shadow II's improvements, including rack-and-pinion steering and modified front suspension geometry. Only 2,135 examples were built.
Collectors are drawn to the Silver Wraith II as an affordable entry into traditional, hand-built Rolls-Royce ownership. It offers the same durable 6.75-liter V8 and GM-sourced 3-speed automatic transmission as its more common sibling, but with added presence and exclusivity. It represents the end of an era, being one of the final expressions of this classic body style before the more angular Silver Spirit was introduced.
The market for the Silver Wraith II is defined by condition. While the average transaction price hovers around $22,000, the range is vast. Project cars can be acquired for under $10,000, but the best low-mileage, fully documented examples can command up to $80,000. The cost of rectifying neglected maintenance, particularly the complex hydraulic system and bodywork, means that paying more for a well-cared-for car is almost always the smarter purchase.
Buying Tips
- Scrutinize the complex high-pressure hydraulic system for leaks and proper operation; repairs are very expensive.
- Check thoroughly for rust, paying close attention to the sills, wheel arches, and especially under the vinyl roof where moisture gets trapped.
- Verify that all interior electronics, power features, and the climate control system function correctly, as repairs can be labor-intensive.
- Insist on comprehensive service records from a Rolls-Royce specialist, as a lack of history is a major red flag for deferred maintenance.
Prices for the Silver Wraith II range from about $6,100 for projects to $80,000 for exceptional examples.
