The Appeal
So rare is the ‘Park Ward’ version of Rolls-Royce’s Silver Seraph that you may not even be aware it exists. Conceived as a limousine version with 25cm extra rear legroom, only 124 were built, of which just 27 were in RHD like this car.
Handsomely finished in dark blue with matching interior, this is an exceptionally low-mileage Park Ward that has covered less than 28,000 miles in the hands of only four keepers. The current one added it to his collection three years ago, in which time he has entrusted it to marque specialist Balmoral UK for regular servicing and improvements. In that time, it has received £22,000 of work, including new sills, plus work to the brakes and suspension.
The limousine layout adds yet another string to the Silver Seraph’s packed bow. These cars were the first all-new models for decades and cleverly blend modern technology with Rolls-Royce’s traditional hand-built, low-volume construction values. Beneath the bonnet is a silky smooth BMW 5.4L V12 and 5spd automatic gearbox.
These cars rarely come to market and this one has the specification, sparing use and recent maintenance to stand out. Freshly serviced and with advisory-free MOT to May 2026, it looks mightily tempting.
