Description
“The quality will remain long after the price is forgotten.” – Henry Royce
On December 15, 1978, American real estate tycoon Murray H. Goodman (worth looking up) decided that the word “standard” did not belong in his vocabulary. He therefore ordered not an ordinary Shadow, but this Silver Wraith II: the ultimate “Captain of Industry” edition, of which only 2,136 were built. The secret of the Wraith lies in its ten extra centimeters of wheelbase; modest in words, but in the backseat, it makes the difference between sitting and residing.
Build quality in these years bordered on obsessive. Take the iconic grille: the slats were hand-bent to create an optical illusion. If they were perfectly straight, the human eye would perceive the grille as convex. No machine could achieve this; only the eye of a master craftsman. Goodman enjoyed this ultimate perfection until the car emigrated to the Netherlands in 1992.
When this British aristocrat arrived in the Dutch countryside, it still wore its original 1970s Chestnut exterior with a Tan interior. A charming snapshot of the era, but the first Dutch owner had a more timeless vision. He made the radical decision to strip the car completely down to bare metal—a process that would make any accountant scream, but that a purist would dream of. The car was reborn in the only color truly worthy of a Rolls of this stature: Brewster Green. An original Rolls-Royce color, sprayed in cellulose paint as tradition dictates. Not a single euro was spared to make this example the finest in the country, and that investment still pays off thirty years later.
Under the hood lies the famous 6.75-liter V8, fully rebuilt in 2013. While some classics require a manual to operate, the engineering of this Wraith is in perfect harmony; everything functions exactly as the engineers in Crewe intended. From the complete toolkit to the original manuals and complete documentation—the picture is perfect. Even the air conditioning—capable of cooling as much as thirty household refrigerators—blasts ice-cold. This is one of those rare cars in which you glide to the South of France in absolute silence, knowing you’re driving something rarer than a modern Ferrari.
“In a car like this, you don't just arrive. You appear.” – Jeremy Clarkson
