Dinky Toys 150 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Grey - Good Repaint by Seller without Box
** GOOD REPAINT VINTAGE DINKY TOYS MODEL WITHOUT ORIGINAL BOX **

* Dinky Toys released No150, Rolls Royce Silver Wraith, in February 1959 at a UK price of 5/6. It was produced in two tone grey at 1:46 scale. It was withdrawn from the Dinky Toys range at the end of 1963.
* The Silver Wraith was Rolls-Royce’s first post WW2 model and was made at the Crewe factory from 1946 to 1959. The first cars had a 127-inch wheelbase chassis based on the pre-war Wraith. It was fitted with coil sprung independent front suspension and semi-elliptic rear with a live axle. The engine was also based on the Wraith, but had a new cylinder head with overhead inlet valves and side exhaust valves. Initially the engine was 4,257cc. In 1951 this was increased to 4,566cc and in 1954 to 4,887 cc on the long wheelbase models. The braking system was a hybrid hydromechanical system with hydraulic front brakes and mechanical rears using the mechanical servo from the pre-war cars, patented by Hispano-Suiza and built by Rolls-Royce under licence.
* A long wheelbase chassis, 133 inc), was announced in 1951. The last short wheelbase cars were made in 1953, but the long wheel version continued until 1959.
* Initially only a four-speed manual gearbox was offered, but this was supplemented from 1952 with a General Motors automatic option.
