One of just eleven cars built to Design No WR20M by Gurney Nutting Fitted with hydraulicly operated windows and roof Restored whilst in the USA in around 2002 Part of a collection in the Lebanon between 2012 and 2023 Recent extensive works totalling around £30,000 Complete with original handbook and original coachwork maintenance instructions Chassis No WGC41 was originally completed in August of 1950. It is one of just eleven cars produced to Design No WR20M by Gurney Nutting of Chelsea, with a single car being produced in this overall style as a fixed head coupe. No other designs were ever offered by Gurney Nutting on the Silver Wraith chassis. It was supplied new to Mr W.R. Howard of Ashford in Kent by Jack Barclay Ltd, complete from new with hydraulicly operated windows and roof, a significant luxury at the time. It was originally finished in Cadillac green with a beige mohair hood and a beige leather (VM 847) interior. In 1958 the car was sold for the first time, to Colonel Rupert de Larrinaga of Lancashire who was the English Olympic ski champion. It was sold again in 1962 to Mr R Bright of Middlesex and a few years later was then advertised by The Halfway Garage for sale who sold the car to a collector in the United States. It was restored in the US around 2002 at which time the car was re-painted in dark blue. It remained Stateside until around 2012 when it was purchased by a Lebanese collector who shipped it to the Lebanon where it remained for around a decade. Chassis No WGC41 was repatriated to the UK in 2023 and has since benefitted from a great deal of improvement works which are all documented in the car’s history file. These works included but were not limited to a complete overhaul of the cars hydraulic system and a general mechanical review. The sum of around £30,000 has been spent on improvement works to the car over the past year or so. Chassis No WGC41 comes complete with its original handbook, original coachwork maintenance instructions booklet, copy chassis cards and build sheets, history records, some period photos taken in the early 1960’s and invoices covering recent works undertaken. An attractive and interesting Silver Wraith by Gurney Nutting that commands attention wherever it is driven.
