Rolls Royce Silver Wraith 4.9 Litre LWB (Long Wheelbase) with  Freestone & Webb limousine bodywork. Year 1956. Colour black over dark red. Interior: beige leather in front, beige with pale brown velour in the rear. Beige wool carpet. This is a very scarce Rolls Royce model of which only two have been built by Freestone & Webb of London. Based upon a Silver Wraith 4.9 Litre LWB a very spacious and luxurious limousine was built. The limousine features six seats, two little seats can be erected from the floor! The automobile features a privacy separation with a roll up window, very soft and comfortable seats, very fine wood trim, a radio in the rear and, how convenient, a bar in the rear shelf which can be erected and lowered electrically!
