1998 Rolls Royce Silver Seraph Previously Owned By Sir Bobby Robson. Low Mileage

Description

1998 Rolls Royce Silver Seraph. Silver Pearl Metallic with Fireglow Red Connolly hide upholstery. Whenever a new Rolls-Royce appears, it is the manner in which tradition is balanced against innovation that most intrigues the public, and the Silver Seraph's introduction in 1998 was no exception. There was certainly no lack of new components in the new car, with almost nothing carried over from its Silver Spur predecessor. Unveiled in March 1998, the Silver Seraph replaced the Silver Spur. All Seraphs were handbuilt 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 £155,175 in the UK and was powered by a 5.4 litre, aluminium alloy, BMW V12 engine making it the first twelve-cylinder Rolls-Royce since the 1939 Phantom III. Standard electronics included digital engine management, adaptive ride control and anti-lock brakes and, aside from the radiator grille, badges and wheels, the Rolls-Royce was externally identical to the contemporary Bentley Arnage sharing both its platform and bodyshell. Inside, the Silver Seraph and the Bentley Arnage were similar but quite distinct from one another. In the Seraph, the gear selector was column mounted, and the gauges followed a traditional Rolls-Royce layout (for example, there was no tachometer). In both cars, the seats and dashboard were upholstered in Connolly leather and glossy burr walnut veneer and featured folding picnic trays for rear passengers. This beautiful Rolls Royce has covered just 78,000 miles from new and was previously owned by ‘the gentleman of British football’, the late great Sir Bobby Robson some years ago, the Silver Seraph was his pride and joy and was used regularly and included in the history file is a copy of Sir Bobbys signed invoice and a photograph of him with the car. Often described as one of the best Rolls Royces ever built when released the power comes from the BMW derived all aluminium 5.4 litre V12 engine making it the first 12 cylinder car to transport the Silver Lady since the Phantom III in 1939. The condition speaks for itself and has been fastidiously maintained over the years by marque specialists with a history file containing many bills invoices and old mot certificates. A very special car that oozes luxury and has a road presence like no other. A fresh mot will be applied upon sale. Absolutely any inspection is welcome. All major debit and credit cards accepted. Part exchange considered. Delivery arranged. Please contact us for any further information. Lots more pictures and a video on our website and Facebook page. Please note the registration plate has been removed and the car is now on R100 KJB.
