The Appeal
The Silver Seraph represented a watershed moment for Rolls-Royce, being the first model to feature a V12 engine, in this case, a smooth 5.4-litre unit producing over 320bhp. Produced in limited numbers between 1998 and 2002, the Seraph is increasingly recognised as a significant chapter in the Rolls-Royce story, bridging the traditional Crewe-built era with the modern age.
This 1999 example shows 38,107 miles and benefits from a solid maintenance history. Beneath the bonnet sits the characteristically refined V12 paired with an automatic gearbox, a combination that defines the Silver Seraph's effortless character. For those seeking a modern Rolls-Royce with presence, rarity, and a V12 powertrain, this Silver Seraph warrants close attention.
