Wraith. Coachwork possibly by Hooper’s, or maybe T & M, but cannot find any certain information. -- Last edit: 2018-08-07 12:19:05 |

Must be some interesting engine mods to get from 4257cc to 5100. “Rare but not particularly desirable, it presaged the post-war loss of standards at Rolls-Royce, and apart from that it is not a very elegant motor car.” Sedgwick and Gillies “A to Z of cars of the 1930s” |

5.1 litres - maybe a 300 Bedford? |

We know what it is, what is the problem? Coachbuilder tba. |

No problem - just sometimes leaving it open can attract attention more than completing it. |

Looking at the door hinges I think that the coachbuilder may be Barker, but still not certain. |

It is WMB79, a Wraith Park Ward Limousine. Barker did not body any Wraiths as they had ceased to trade by the time the Wraith was introduced. They were bought out by Hooper. The original engine was replaced with a modern Chevrolet V8. |

Thank you. Coachwork needs to be identified but can be a pain sometimes. |
