Great presentation, and a very well priced car. The silver Seraph was only produced between 1998 and 2002, and only 1570 was ever made. Your car is actually more rare than you might know, this car is 1 of only 170 "Last of line" special edition. - The Silver Seraph Last of Line is a special edition of the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph. The model was meant to mark the termination of the production of Rolls-Royces in the factory in Crewe, property of Volkswagen. In 2003 (end of 2002) BMW would become the owner of Rolls-Royce. The person which buys this car will get a very rare and well equiped car. I drive a Silver Seraph myself, and they are wonderfull.
Have you experienced, or do you anticipate, problems with the computer(s)? There seems to have been a good bit of anxiety in that regard - that one would be unable to replace the computer/microcomputers. Is there someone who can provide tech support for rare cars?
Bunny Biedenharn I have never had any problems with any computer in my car. I have never read about computerproblems in any RR/Bentley forums either. I think the computers are made by VW or BMW. The Silver Seraph are great cars to drive, it’s a true old times luxurycar.
Nice eye. The last of the line has the Spirit of Ectasy in the center caps instead of the standard RR. It also has those badges on the bottom of the front fenders as well. Other additions to that specific model are chrome mirrors and red inserts for the writing on the trunk lock cover and front grille. Nice to see someone appreciates these rare "last of the line" models.
My buddy has just bought one.great paint key is washing it correctly plus some protection. All those aspects can be improved plus protected for the future, a stunning beautiful car. 🇬🇧
11:06, dyeing is a short term solution to make the sale, after a few years it will look exactly the same. Replacing the panel will be the only lasting solution. My MB seats were done by the seller, they looked phenomenal, 5 years later I can clearly see what he was hiding to make the sale.
TheMister Mann: I imported my Silver Seraph to Europe from USA, no problem. The cars are great, and this is a special edition and very well priced:-) I had some of these dings in my car, but a professional ding repair made them disappear. It's not possible to see them anymore. Cracking in the lacker of the wood is common on these cars, but it's no problem having them repaired. I had my wood repaired in Europe by a former Rolls Royce employee. In USA, Rau-autowood.com will fix the crackings. rau-autowood.com/rroc.htm
I've been following a Silver Seraph 1999 on e-bay in the US. Very low milage model and in " as new " condition. Twice it's failed to meet the reserve price ( presently at 45K ) and has now been withdrawn. I priced shipment to Europe at around 2K dollars but there would be import duty and taxes to add to that. I'd be interested to know exactly how much it cost you to import your car, all included.
I agree the drivers seat looks terrible. Being the only spot on the car that looks worn out, I think it needs repair before selling - or a nice discount. Otherwise, gorgeous car.
Nice car, although that cracking on all the wood.... thats weird.. over heating inside? Those engines worry me, ive owned 2 BMW750iL, they have the same engine, there north of $6000 to service once you get to 100k miles... Not sure who would do the job either, BMW spent 2 weeks on my car doing it (replacing the fuel injectors as they are plastic in that generation of engine).
BMW where involved with RR from 1994 as engineering consultants on the Seraph /Arnage. VW Bought the Bentley name and the Factory at Crewe in Cheshire in the North west of England from owner Vickers Aerospace, but, But Rolls Royce Aerospace in Derby held the rights to the "RR" symbol, the spirit of Ecstasy likness, and the Rolls Royce name, which they leased to BMW. The Bavarians could not use the Rolls Royce name until midnight December 31st 2002 and had to start from scratch at a new factory at Goodwood down in West Sussex 170 miles south............and that's the simplified version ;)
IF YOU want a Rolls Royce and you are not a millionaire, where price is not the object, then you must strive for two, very important qualities your older Rolls must have. First, low miles. Servicing an older Rolls is going to be very costly for the average person. If you buy a Roll, albeit in good condition, but with a lot of mileage, you will soon be digging deep into your wallet. Secondly, you need to know where and how the vehicle was kept, and by what type of owner. Even if the Rolls has low mileage, a spotty service record or harsh use by the original owner(s) could spell the difference whether you have to be off road servicing the car or driving it. There is a reason these cars loose so much value so quickly. Obviously, it is not because of the build quality, but the cost of ownership..
The "build quality" is reflected in the frequency of repair rate. I would never burden myself with the numerous annoyances that develop over time. Then there's the image problem that is somewhat mitigated by the Bentley badge even with VW ownership.
My 1964 Silver Cloud III is more expensive than the average car, but because it has always been properly serviced and maintained it doesn't need costly repairs.
The shark had been jumped at RR by this time. Quality was good but declining. Veneer not solid wood. BMW etc parts bin. There's a reason these are cheap. Much better to get a 2000's Arnage.
jstevenson7121 Arnage is almost the same car, with even more BMW parts. Nowadays there are a lot of BMW parts and whats most funny, bimmers get all of these new tech pieces first
the music is the best of all. does not all seem like it. and the video does not want to show anything much and fast image changes. many amateurs working for such a class car. it's just what you mean by nice
Obese owner...very hot climate? I like the styling but these vehicles have so many shortcomings that ownership is often a nightmare, and, therefore the horrendous depreciation rate.
"Pretty unique"?! Crazy-talk and immediate turnoff. Narrator doesn't know that Unique means one-of-a-kind. No modifiers make any sense. Should avoid words of which he doesn't know the definition.
@@UltraMotorsports Sorry, this was the third car video I watched in which that word was misused. I should have ignored this one too. But you did not use it in the context you imply in your deceptive answer. In fact, you implied that all your cars are unique; impossible, by definition. I think you've still not understood the meaning as ONE of a kind. Anyway, the car seems excellent and at an excellent price! And thank you for answering.
Very honest and objective presentation...As we say in England "Would you buy a used car from this man", the answer in this case is a resounding YES.
Great presentation, and a very well priced car.

As a detailer key is washing plus protect for the paint leather plus wood. Hand Wax plus wash on a regular basis by someone who is competent.

Very thorough video. I love the spirit of ecstasy inlay in the wood in the door.
thank you!
Whomever specced the type of wood and contrasting inlays n'at is an extremely elegant, tasteful chap.

Honest appraisal.
Still a beautiful car 🚗 good review 😃👍🇬🇧
depreciation is a wonderful thing 😂 … it does wonders … at least for me … love it
This is a “Last Of Line” edition.
In that case I wonder if it may have a rarity premium? I wish it was mine anyway!
Beautiful

What is the cost of this car?
its ok you can always move to the us or have a vacation
Do you ship it to Fiji?
How much is it
Maintenance? Costly?
When interiors were genuine wood, leather high quality.
Nice ....not in my budget, haha!
Thank you
行李箱和后排的中央扶手箱以及后排空调出风口都没有检查到，还有就是副驾驶席车门锁扣处的木板似乎有损坏，但是你也没有指出来。
Nice nice nice
I wanna buy it let me know
Awesome
The condition of the driver seat was below average.
Pretty decent for 82k miles actually. Also a driver's car. That one leather panel shouldn't be that hard to fix.
Probably used by a lardo.
I agree the drivers seat looks terrible. Being the only spot on the car that looks worn out, I think it needs repair before selling - or a nice discount. Otherwise, gorgeous car.

i believe his car debuted between 97/98 that's before bmw ownership, i think VW owned it at the time.

my e32 was pretty reliable engine wise this was the 5.4 litre motor from e38
That was the period before going from its own brand to BMW's
That nice
Good.
Surprised to see peppering on that car.
@@floopymcfloopy-pants4205 you probably drive a Lexus. Which is a Corolla. Lol
Alot of highway mileage causes that.
Good match for me.
So, where is the engine block...?
...and no umbrella? You have to have the umbrella.
@@t985gblockingpaint2 Does it look like a phantom tn your eyce
I’m interested in buying one.
Good price
At first I thought you were holding onto a match
It isn't a matchstick ?
In finland that is 70k
Battery ? You will find 2.
Antwun. L. Barbary.
I'm shocked because the headrests in the Rolls-Royce are the same as the headrests in the Mazda 929.
That might be a good thing.

Veneer is generally used because solid wood doesn't show much of the really decorative marking. My 1964 Silver Cloud III has veneer.
Wow, that is a deal. It had to have sold quickly.
There's always a newbie out there somewhere.
Is it manual transmission
Rolls-Royce cars are always automatic
That two tone wood is a bit blergh
It's a classic combination of walnut and satinwood. Just more than the older Rolls Royce engineers used.
the music is the best of all.
does not all seem like it. and the video does not want to show anything much and fast image changes.
many amateurs working for such a class car.
it's just what you mean by nice
I don't understand why anyone would want to create a video with that weird "wave" effect, especially when it comes to showcasing stationary objects.
because they sell cars not make movies with a $100k film rig maybe?
I believe that’s the TH-cam stabilization. It really doesn’t work well.
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe....
nice car, though don't care for the color.
No I do not care for the inside colour.
It looks a lot like 1999 Jaguar XJ8
No it DOESNT
Obese owner...very hot climate? I like the styling but these vehicles have so many shortcomings that ownership is often a nightmare, and, therefore the horrendous depreciation rate.
He said you could dye the seat but all I could think of when seeing it was "who died"?
It says silver seraph BUT IT IS NOT SILVER AHHH
A Rolex, with a Timex movement!! Not impressive in size, performance with the BMW engine, with not enough power for a car this heavy.

It is "unique" that it is sitting at a used car dealership in Indiana and available for $40k, but thanks for taking the time to comment
