Chassis No: SCALA61E7XCH01662
Mot Expiry: April 2017
The Graham Hull-penned Silver Seraph marked Rolls-Royce's intention to reclaim its reputation as producer of 'the best car in the world'. Following a long gestation period it was eventually only made for four years - 1998 to 2002 - as a result of which just 1,570 Seraphs vacated the Crewe factory. Its monocoque chassis was 65 percent stiffer than that of the Silver Spirit it replaced, while power came from a BMW-derived all-alloy V12 engine of 5.4-litres. This Silver example is matched with a Dark Blue leather interior and displays 45,800 miles and has recently received new tyres and batteries. Included in the sale is the original book pack with handbooks plus service book containing 10 entries, the last dated July 2015 at 40,228 miles. 'R677 KSX' is offered with V5C, current MOT certificate into April 2017 and offers a potential new keeper a very special motoring experience at a fraction of its original cost.
