Vehicle Description
Absolutely Pristine 2001 Rolls Royce Silver Seraph in White with an impeccable and opulent interior dressed in the finest Tan coloured hides. 5.4L/320hp V12 Engine. 5-Speed Automatic Trans. Look up the word "seraph" in the Oxford English Dictionary and you'll arrive at, "A celestial being of the highest order, associated especially with light, ardour and purity." Whilst it can't offer the technological sophistication of the latest Mercedes S-class models, it's always reassuring that with a Rolls-Royce, even a used example, you are dealing with an icon, the most evocative brand in the automotive world. Some will counter that the image is too brash, but for those who appreciate the agreeable, clubby ambiance nothing else will suffice.The Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph, produced from 1998 to 2002, was first unveiled on March 3, 1998 at the Geneva Motor Show. All Seraphs were hand-built at the Rolls-Royce factory in Crewe, England, which stopped making Rolls-Royce models in 2002 but continued with Bentley. The car had a base price of $220,695 in the US. It was second in cost and exclusivity only to the Rolls-Royce Corniche. With a total of just 1,570 Silver Seraphs painstakingly crafted before production ceased in 2002, these fabulous high-luxury sedans are highly sought-after - Don't miss out on this opportunity at a like new condition limited production Rolls-Royce.The Silver Seraph features an elegantly rounded design that is carried through the interior as well. The Rolls-Royce reputation for superior craftsmanship and attention to detail is showcased on the interior. A rounded seat silhouette and a gently curved console highlights its luxurious amenities. Seats have been specially designed to provide anatomically correct support to the shoulders, back, base of spine and thighs. The front seats are adjustable in four directions and feature bi-lumbar support as well as seat heaters. The driver's seat has a four-position memory that is linked to the steering wheel and the exterior mirrors. Rear seats are also independently adjustable and feature lumbar support and seat heaters.The curved centre console has been formed by Rolls-Royce craftsmen out of ten thin layers of tulip wood. A complex membrane press is used to apply the veneer as well as enables the craftsmen to veneer into the instrument apertures on the fascia. Rolls-Royce craftsmen use hand-selected, unbleached veneers to ensure purity of colour and hand-match each side of the vehicle, so that they are mirror images of each other from front to rear. Over 150 man-hours are spent to make one complete set of fascia, cappings and trim for each Rolls-Royce.Controls for the new climate control system are digital and allow airflow and temperatures to be set in four zones- the front, rear, upper and lower cabin areas - to ensure the comfort of all passengers is met. The climate control system features a pollution control sensor, pollen and dust micro-filters, a dehumidifier and a residual heating mode. In a joint project with Rolls-Royce, Alpine Electronics developed the sound system, which features a six-disc CD autochanger and speakers located throughout the vehicle, giving the sound system a concert-hall effect.The Silver Seraph comes equipped with an extensive selection of amenities that bring the marque if not into the 21st century then at least somewhere doing a reasonable approximation of the late 20th. The rearview mirror automatically dims, while the exterior mirrors dip when reverse gear has been selected. In addition to the instruments and driver information panel, a trip computer is also featured. Rear seat passengers will enjoy the picnic table and magazine stowage area mounted to the back of the front seats. The audio system also features a remote control for rear seat operation. The Silver Seraph features a variety of security features including a volumetric and perimetric alarm system, an inertia sensor fuel shutoff, driver-only unlock function and walk-up courtesy headlamps.The Seraph is powered by a 5.4 L aluminum alloy BMW V12 engine and was operated via a 5-speed automatic transmission, making it the first twelve-cylinder Rolls-Royce since the 1939 Phantom III.
