How much did they leave on the table? 😐️

The Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph, produced from 1998 to 2002, marked a significant shift for the marque as the first model powered by a BMW engine. It featured a refined 5.4-liter V12 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission, emphasizing smooth, silent wafting over raw speed. Hand-built in Crewe, England, its interior was a masterclass in craftsmanship, reportedly taking 150 man-hours to complete the woodwork alone. The Park Ward edition, introduced in 2000, was the ultra-exclusive, long-wheelbase version of the Seraph. It added 250 mm (approximately 10 inches) to the body, with most of that length integrated into the rear doors to provide cavernous legroom for chauffeured passengers. Beyond the stretch, it often included bespoke amenities like humidor compartments, cocktail cabinets, and advanced rear-seat entertainment systems. While roughly 1,570 Silver Seraphs were produced in total, the Park Ward is significantly rarer, with only 125 units manufactured before production ended. It represents the final era of Rolls-Royce manufacturing at the historic Crewe factory before the brand moved to Goodwood. #rollsroyce #womenshistorymonth #auctioncars
