About this car

The Silver Seraph was the last Rolls-Royce developed before the Crewe firm passed to BMW, and the first to drop the old V8 in favour of a BMW-built 5.4-litre V12. This one is a 1998 car, listed as a 1999 model, with 322 bhp and a five-speed automatic gearbox.

It is finished in Mulsanne Green, a non-metallic shade, over tan leather. Noted equipment includes picnic tables, rear park assist, folding mirrors and the original stereo. Four new Uniroyal tyres have been fitted.

The odometer reads about 37,000 miles, and the page describes a good service history. It has had nine previous owners. The dealer sold it before and took it back in part exchange against another car.
