RHD. Skirts, fender mirrors, wheel covers, blackwall tires, trafficators, Jensen cassette stereo,

Condition

Poor old repaint over old rust blisters. Sound, dry old upholstery. Dull interior wood trim. Chassis and underbody repainted over old, peeling undercoat. Thin trim chrome. Sadly neglected, a car with no good surprises.

Market commentary

Assessing this Silver Wraith is a challenge between originality (because nothing significant other than cosmetics have been done to it) and neglect (for the same reasons). The paint is a disgrace to Park Ward's quality finishing, the interior wood likewise to Britain's craftsmen. The slantback coachwork is attractive, but more fussy than inspired. Making it any more than it is will be an expensive challenge. The seller should be very satisfied with this price.
