The Appeal
If you’ll excuse the pun, the Silver Seraph was a new dawn for Rolls-Royce. The firm’s first all-new car for decades, it stands at the crossroads between the old-school, traditional craftsmanship era and the technologically advanced modern era. All good reasons to want one.
There is also the V12 engine, the firm’s first for a generation and borrowed from parent BMW. It imbues the car with effortless performance and perfectly matches the cossetting and luxurious passenger experience.
Only 1,570 Silver Seraphs were built. You will find 15 service stamps in the book, a mix of main dealers and well regarded specialists like Silver Lady.
The car has covered few miles since the last service. The condition is impressive and supported by a long MOT to September 2025 with no advisories.
