1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph

Highlights

• Desirable Silver Tempest Metallic paint
• The vendor reports the car to be in very good order overall
• Owner's manuals and service book supplied

The Appeal

The Silver Seraph marked a pivotal moment in Rolls-Royce history, being the first model to feature a V12 engine - a smooth 5.4-litre BMW unit producing 322 bhp - and among the last to be built at Crewe before the marque's modern era began. Produced in limited numbers between 1998 and 2002, the Seraph is increasingly valued by collectors and enthusiasts as a significant bridge between the traditional and contemporary chapters of the Rolls-Royce story.

This 1999 example shows 38,107 miles and is finished in the sought-after Silver Tempest Metallic, with a blue-and-cream colour scheme inside the palatial cabin.
