The 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph model featured in the following article is undoubtedly one of the rarest cars in Vietnam. The Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph was produced from 1998 to 2002 and served as a precursor for the renowned Ghost model developed by Rolls-Royce in the future. Currently, the car is being sold by a used car dealership in Hanoi. The ODO specifications have not been disclosed by the seller.
The 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph model has dimensions of 5,390 x 1,930 x 1,519 (mm) in length, width, and height respectively. After more than two decades, its distinctive exterior design continues to attract considerable attention and is highly regarded compared to many million-dollar cars today. The car’s rims feature eye-catching patterns with 16-inch chrome wheels and the Rolls-Royce logo at the center.
The 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph model is powered by a naturally-aspirated V12 engine with the M73 designation, a displacement of 5.4 liters, generating 356 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 490 Nm at 3,900 rpm – an impressive figure for a car of its time and in no way inferior in power to modern sports cars.
The interior space of the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph remains quite new. The colors and wood details bear resemblance to current Rolls-Royce models. The leather on the steering wheel has slightly deteriorated. The central entertainment system is equipped with an additional DVD screen. Prominent luxury amenities include 6-way power-adjustable front seats, a 6-disc CD player with a 10-speaker audio system.
The Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph steering wheel features the speed limit (LIM) and cruise control functions.
The second row seats feature work desks and adjustable air vents.
With a price of 6,589 million VND, which is only 300 million VND more expensive than a brand new BMW 740Li Pure Excellence officially distributed by THACO in the Vietnamese market, the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph with its over two-decade-old history will be a valuable possession for many luxury car collectors.
