Rolls-Royce is a company with an impeccable reputation that has been producing the most reliable, prestigious and expensive cars in the world for over 100 years. Its name and its inalienable attribute - the "Spirit of Ecstasy" talisman on the hood - has long been a symbol of luxury, wealth and elitism, and is recognized as a national treasure of Great Britain. The essence of Rolls-Royce was formed on the recalculation of British conservatism, design perfectionism, the highest quality standards, the aristocratic spirit of old England and royal tastes. Here you can cite the famous advertising phrase: "Owning a Rolls-Royce is not just a luxury, it is a privilege."

The post-war situation in the luxury car market forced Rolls-Royce to abandon the expensive Phantom and focus on the 6-cylinder Rolls-Royce Wraith, renamed the Silver Wraith.

This did not mean a departure from the pre-war quality standards, although the company could no longer be proud of the independent manufacture of all chassis units. However, with regard to the Silver Wraith, there was still the practice of building the bodywork by independent ateliers: H.J. Mulliner, Park Ward, Hooper, Freestone & Webb or European firms.

The pre-war design of the car with free-standing headlights, pronounced fenders and a tall radiator grill was pretty outdated by the end of its production, but the bodybuilders hid it with sleek lines and streamlined shapes. Until the mid-50s. The Silver Wraith was still Britain's most prestigious car, with total sales of 1,883 including 639 long wheelbase limousines.

Early Rolls-Royce Silver Wraiths were powered by the pre-war 4257 cc inline 6-cylinder engine, but in 1951 it was increased to 4566 cc and in 1954 to 4887 cc. At the same time, the design did not change: an aluminum block head, a cast iron block and one lower camshaft that controlled the upper inlet and side exhaust valves.

Power, according to estimates, varied in the range of 126-155 hp, but these figures are traditionally not indicated anywhere. The Silver Wraith had coil-spring independent front suspension and leaf-spring drive rear axle. The braking system was mixed: hydraulic drum brakes at the front and mechanical servo at the rear.

The length of the wheelbase was the main difference between the Silver Wraith and the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn and Bentley Mark VI models; accordingly, the bodies for the Silver Wraith were designed for customers who had a personal chauffeur. Since 1952, the car was available not only with a 4-speed manual transmission, but also with automatic production from General Motors.
