Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith 4.6 litre

For 1951 the Silver Wraith received the revised 4566cc "big bore" engine used by the rest of the Rolls-Royce/Bentley range. Apart from the larger engine capacity the "new" Silver Wraith remained largely unchanged, although automatic transmission was now made available.

During its production life the Silver Wraith's coachwork began to evolve into more modern styles, the early pre-war style, Lucas P100 headlamps started to make way for smaller lamps, similar to those used elsewhere in the range. The Silver Wraith short wheel base cars remained in production until 1953, LWB cars lasted until 1959.
