	The '''Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph''', produced from [[1998]] to [[2002]], was first unveiled on [[March 3]], 1998 at the [[Geneva Motor Show]]. The Silver Seraph replaced the [[Rolls-Royce Silver Spur\|Silver Spur]], which ended production in [[1997]].		The '''Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph''', produced from 1998 to 2002, was first unveiled on March 3, 1998 at the [[Geneva Motor Show]]. The Silver Seraph replaced the [[Rolls-Royce Silver Spur\|Silver Spur]], which ended production in 1997.

	All Seraphs were hand-built at the [[Rolls-Royce Motors\|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 $220,695 in the US. It was second in cost and exclusivity only to the [[Rolls-Royce Corniche ~~(2000)~~\|Rolls-Royce Corniche]].

The car had a base price of £155,175 in the UK and $220,695 in the US. It was second in cost and exclusivity only to the [[Rolls-Royce Corniche\|Rolls-Royce Corniche]].

	The Seraph was powered by a 5.4 L aluminium alloy [[BMW]] [[V12]] engine and was operated via a 5-speed [[automatic transmission]], making it the first twelve-cylinder Rolls-Royce since the [[1939]] [[Rolls-Royce Phantom III\|Phantom III]]. Standard electronics included digital engine management, adaptive ride control and anti-lock brakes.

Standard electronics included digital engine management, adaptive ride control and anti-lock brakes.

	The body was 65 percent stiffer than that of its predecessor. Aside from the radiator grille, badges and wheels, the Rolls-Royce was externally identical to the contemporary [[Bentley Arnage]], sharing both its platform and body shell. Paint was available in one and two-tone finwashes.		The body was 65 percent stiffer than that of its predecessor.

Paint was available in one and two-tone finwashes.

	Inside, the Rolls-Royce 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]], with dashboard trim and folding picnic trays for rear passengers faced with glossy burl [[walnut]] veneer.

	The Seraph was known for its relatively limited acceleration and comfortable handling, in comparison to the Arnage, which had a supercharged BMW V8 and firmer suspension. However, the Seraph still had a top speed of 140 mph.
