This is a stunning presenting Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph finished in Tempest (as the name suggests; a stormy silver-grey metallic) with hand-painted cream fine-lines with Magnolia Connolly hides and blue trimming.
The 2000 onwards Silver Seraph was an improvement over the first-release 1998 & 99 year model with various small changes. Most notably the increased rear leg room by a redesign of the floor pan and rear seat position, providing considerable more rear leg-room and head-room. The year 2000 also so the introduction of the electronically controlled pop-up navigation screen in the dash top-roll and parking sensors. Exterior rear view mirrors were also redesigned in shape and function. The updated model is easily identifiable by the use of clear turn signal lenses on the front side and rear.
The production numbers of Silver Seraph in 2000 to 2002 were also considerably less than the 98-99 model run. In total, only some 1,500 Silver Seraphs were made.
The Silver Seraph, designed by Graham Hull (with Rolls-Royce since 1971), represents a truly wonderful design taking all the retrospective cues from its Silver Cloud predecessor of the 1960s. This 2 owner example is simply a beautiful and commanding Seraph that presents in very fine condition. Very shiny and deep lustred straight body collectively poised on original Seraph alloy wheels with brand new Avon pin-stripe whitewalls.
The interior is stunning. The leather is almost perfect without the wear on typical areas such as the drivers seat. The Magnolia leather interior is entirely upholstered in Connolly hide, including roof-lining, door trim and surrounds, dash-board and console – there is no visible vinyl used anywhere in the interior. The seats are elegantly highlighted by dark blue piping on the seats and dash and the Wilton wool carpets throughout are contrasted in matching royal blue. These are accented by the welcoming coziness of genuine Rolls-Royce lambs-wool “mouton” rugs. All the burl walnut wood throughout the interior is in top condition and is virtually flawless. The dash, the console and the door cappings are perfect. There is not even the slightest amount of fade on any single part (you often see a “tan-line” on the radio door given that it is left open most of the time). Simply perfect!
All features and functions are fully operational. Mechanically, the car has been regularly serviced by Rolls-Royce and Park-Ward Motors. The Avon tyres, just fitted cost over $2,000.
Nothing more can be said but to review the hundreds of detailed pictures of the car. She is simply stunning!
