Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Hooper All-Weather Tourer

Information

The Silver Wraith was designed to be one of the world's most luxurious automobiles. Built as a chassis, these cars were dressed by England's most prestigious coachbuilders, and this Silver Wraith is one of a pair bodied by Hooper & Co. of London.
The two cars were commissioned by the Commonwealth of Australia to serve as Ceremonial Limousine Tourers and were shipped to Melbourne on April 30, 1959. The twin Silver Wraiths were used for visits by Queen Elizabeth Il, Princess Diana, Prince Charles, and other dignitaries, such as Pope John Paul VI and astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin. Only three cars of this design were produced, and this example, with its twin, were the last two custom-built Silver Wraiths by Rolls-Royce.
