Wow a 1937 1.0L  100 HP auto RHD Royce. And only travelled 10Km.  Not many like that 😉

Ford tail lights?  But no engine photos! Rear axle RR?

A good parts car for someone.  Obviously and sadly never destined to be brought back to life.

Not at that price

No engine photo does not help sell it

from that Wraith had independent front suspension.  Cart springs on car in photo

Depending on what you are missing,  it would be perfect for a guy restoring a snazzy bodied one on the same chassis.   Maybe at 40% the price.  it doesn't take too many parts to make it worth while.  A lesson I wish I had learned earlier in life.
