Vehicle Description
This is a stunning presenting Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph finished in
Tempest (as the name suggests; a stormy silver-grey metallic) with
hand-painted cream fine-lines with Magnolia Connolly hides and blue
trimming. The 2000 onwards Silver Seraph was an improvement over
the first-release 1998 & 99 year model with various small changes.
Most notably the increased rear leg room by a redesign of the floor
pan and rear seat position, providing considerable more rear
leg-room and head-room. The year 2000 also so the introduction of
the electronically controlled pop-up navigation screen in the dash
top-roll and parking sensors. Exterior rear view mirrors were also
redesigned in shape and function. The updated model is easily
identifiable by the use of clear turn signal lenses on the front
side and rear. The production numbers of Silver Seraph in 2000 to
2002 were also considerably less than the 98-99 model run. In
total, only some 1,500 Silver Seraphs were made. The Silver Seraph,
designed by Graham Hull (with Rolls-Royce since 1971), represents a
truly wonderful design taking all the retrospective cues from its
Silver Cloud predecessor of the 1960s. This 2 owner example is
simply a beautiful and commanding Seraph that presents in very fine
condition. Very shiny and deep lustred straight body collectively
poised on original Seraph alloy wheels with brand new Avon
pin-stripe whitewalls. The interior is stunning. The leather is
almost without the wear on typical areas such as the drivers seat.
The Magnolia leather interior is entirely upholstered in Connolly
hide, including roof-lining, door trim and surrounds, dash-board
and console - there is no visible vinyl used anywhere in the
interior. The seats are elegantly highlighted by dark blue piping
on the seats and dash and the Wilton wool carpets throughout are
contrasted in matching royal blue. These are accented by the
welcoming coziness of genuine Rolls-Royce lambs-wool "mouton" rugs.
All the burl walnut wood throughout the interior is in top
condition with only the most minor flaws in some discreet areas.
Importantly, the dash and console are perfect. There is not even
the slightest amount of fade on any single part (you often see a
"tan-line" on the radio door given that it is left open most of the
time). Simply perfect! All features and functions are fully
operational. Mechanically, the car has been regularly serviced by
Rolls-Royce and Park-Ward Motors. The Avon tyres, just fitted cost
over $2,000. Nothing more can be said but to review the hundreds of
detailed pictures of the car. www.park-ward.com
