Whenever a new Rolls-Royce appears, it is the manner in which tradition is weighed against innovation that most intrigues the public, and there was certainly no lack of new components in the Silver Seraph of 1998; exterior door handles and the occasional switch excepted, nothing was carried over from its predecessor. The most significant break with tradition was, of course, the adoption of BMW engines, the Seraph's power unit being the 5.3-litre, 60-degree V12 of the range-topping 750i, its engine management system appropriately reconfigured for the heavier Rolls-Royce. The ZF five-speed automatic gearbox is likewise sourced from the 750i, and once again its electronics, which control shift points, are re-programmed to suit the different application.

Changes to the body may have seemed less radical but were no less interesting. While the styling represented a conscious attempt to recall the looks of the Silver Cloud, its method of construction broke new ground for Rolls-Royce in several ways. The body - now fully galvanised - used significantly fewer panels than that of the Silver Spirit and took less time to make, while contriving to be 65 percent stiffer than its predecessors. Build quality was by all accounts even better than before.

Premiered at the 2000 Geneva Motor Show and introduced for the 2001 model year, the extended-wheelbase version of the Silver Seraph took its name from Rolls-Royce's in-house coachbuilder, Park Ward, which had been wholly owned since 1939. The Park Ward had 10" (250mm) added between its front and rear doors, increasing the legroom for passengers. The Silver Seraph ceased production in 2002 when manufacture of all Rolls-Royce motor car ended at the historic Crewe factory, by which time only 127 of the LWB Park Ward variant had been produced.

This Silver Seraph LWB was purchased on 23rd July 2002 from the Jacques Savoye dealership in Paris and has covered 2,955km from new. Finished in black with beige interior, the car appears to be in fundamentally sound condition but has damaged paintwork and is missing some chrome trim.

It comes with all books (service book unstamped) and Equatorial Guinea registration papers and customs document.

VAT, Car Tax and Customs Duty at the standard rates will be payable on this Lot if the car remains in Switzerland.

Bonhams is the guarantor of the customs duties and taxes clearance: consequently, this motor car cannot be released to the buyer or his transporter immediately after the sale.

Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph Berline à empattement long 2002

Carrosserie par Park Ward

Châssis n° SCALD62E02CX19111

  • L'une des seules 127 produites
  • Version haut de gamme à empattement long
  • Seulement 2 995 km depuis l'origine
  • Mérite une rénovation d'aspect A chaque sortie d'une nouvelle Rolls-Royce, ce qui intrigue le plus le public, c'est l'équilibre qui a été choisi entre l'innovation et la tradition. La Silver Seraph de 1998 ne manquait certainement pas de composants nouveaux. Mis à part les poignées de portes extérieures et un interrupteur, rien n'avait été reconduit de sa devancière. La plus significative des ruptures avec le passé était bien sûr l'adoption du V12 à 60° de 5,3 litres issu du sommet de gamme de BMW, la 750i, avec un contrôle moteur retouché pour s'adapter au surpoids de la Rolls-Royce. La boîte automatique ZF à cinq rapports était elle aussi, comme on pouvait s'y attendre, empruntée à la 750i, avec là encore une recalibration des points de passage des rapports.

Les évolutions de la carrosserie pouvaient sembler moins fondamentales, mais elles n'étaient pas moins intéressantes. Son style cherchait délibérément à évoquer la Silver Cloud, mais son processus de fabrication était innovant à plusieurs égards. La caisse, désormais complètement galvanisée, faisait appel à un nombre d'emboutis significativement inférieur à ce qui se pratiquait sur la Silver Spirit et s'assemblait en un temps réduit tout en offrant une rigidité en progrès de 65% par rapport à sa devancière. Sa qualité de construction était à tous égards encore meilleure que précédemment.

Dévoilée au Salon de Genève 2000 et lancée en tant qu'année-modèle 2001, la version à empattement long de la Silver Seraph reprenait le nom du carrossier maison de Rolls-Royce, Park Ward, propriété du constructeur depuis 1939. La Park Ward avait été rallongée de 250 mm entre ses portes avant et arrière, ce qui augmentait la place pour les jambes des passagers. La Silver Seraph disparut du catalogue en 2002 quand la production des Rolls-Royce dans leur usine historique de Crewe prit fin. Il y avait alors eu 127 exemplaires de Park Ward à empattement long produits.

Cette Silver Seraph à empattement long a été achetée le 23 juillet 2002 à la concession parisienne de Jacques Savoye et a parcouru 2 955 km depuis l'origine. Elle est noire avec un intérieur beige ; elle semble saine mais sa peinture est endommagée et certains décors chromés manquent.

Elle est proposée avec tous ses documents de bord (carnet d'entretien non estampillé), son certificat d'immatriculation de Guinée équatoriale et ses documents douaniers.

La TVA, la taxe sur les véhicules ainsi que les droits de douanes aux taux courants seront payables sur ce lot si le véhicule reste en Suisse.

Bonhams restant le garant des droits et taxes douanières, cette voiture ne pourra pas être récupérée par l'acheteur ou son transporteur immédiatement après la vente.
