1938 ROLLS-ROYCE WRAITH LIMOUSINE
COACHWORK BY PARK WARD
Chassis No. WXA10
Engine No. T3WK
Black and green with green leather interior.
Engine: six cylinder, in-line, 4,257cc; Gearbox: four speed manual, single plate clutch; Brakes: four wheel servo assisted drum; Suspension; independent front, enclosed coil spring, rear, semi-elliptic. Right hand drive.
The Rolls-Royce Wraith was first introduced at the London Motor Show in October, 1938. The Wraith benefitted from many of the modifications developed for the Phantom III, including the introduction of independent front suspension, adjustable shock absorbers, and a built- in jacking system. The engine was given the crossflow cylinder head similiar to the 4¼ Bentley, and the ignition advance was entirely automatic. The emphasis on the Wraith was refinement, and it may well be the quietest Rolls-Royce ever built.
The radiator was moved forward, as part of the suspension changes, allowing more space for coachbuilders. The Wraith design was entirely up-to-date and looked ahead -- it was not just another revision of the original Twenty. It's technical specification is different from all other models.
Because of its short production life, the Wraith remains one of the rarest of all Rolls-Royces. Only 491 customers had the joy of taking
