About this car

The Silver Seraph was the first Rolls-Royce developed under Vickers' ownership and the last before the brand's split from Bentley, and this 1998 example is a striking one: Wildberry paint with cream coach lines and whitewall tyres, an unusual and period-correct combination.

Inside, the Cotswold leather is piped in Mulberry, with Mulberry carpets piped in Cotswold and a two-tone steering wheel. Walnut veneer runs throughout, including the picnic tables and vanity mirrors, and the rear seats are electrically adjustable and heated.

The car has covered 108,000 miles and is described as having a full service history. The dealer has known it for a number of years and describes the paintwork as unmarked.
