Description
A photograph of the 1938 Rolls Royce Wraith limousine by Jack Pumphrey which features an independent coil sprung front suspension based on a Packard 120 retaining semi elliptical leaf springs on the rear axle, the hydraulic dampers at the front had their damping rate controlled by governor and so varied with the speed of the car, making it superior to its predecessor, the 25/30 H.P. and on par with the Phantom III, the car was still built on a separate chassis but this was now of welded rather than the traditional riveted construction, the drum brakes were assisted by a mechanical servo driven by the engine patented by Hispano-Suiza and built by Rolls-Royce under license, wire wheels of 17 inch diameter were fitted, with the spokes usually covered by removable discs, a built in hydraulic jacking system was fitted operated by a lever under the passenger seat
