The Rolls Royce Silver Seraph Was Too Little Too Late! BUT Did BMW Help Or Harm It?
In this video, I go for a drive in the lesser seen Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph. I talk about it's complicated history, how it stacks up to it's predecessors and mention the Bentley Turbo R, LOTS.

I've had corsas fiestas and other small cars then I bought an arbarth 500 and ive never looked back its suited my needs perfectly and it holds its own on the motorway 😊
Jeremy: You got yourself a Ford Zephyr with a chrome nose.
Variant (facelift)
I also agree these in traffiic are terrible. Stopping starting with these manuals mine had a heavy clutch too which in the end was the reason i did i deal on it with an X5 3.0i petrol. And the X5 was loads quicker and nicer to drive than the scooby
Ive had one of these a 2000 reg Red Forester Turbo S in manual aswell i only paid £1000 for it on 2020. But i had to spend another £1000 to get it back on the road though. Wonderful motors! Make a lovely sound! Mine was manual too, they are rare and the synchromesh in the gearbox usually is terrible due chavs dont know how to drive them... Wish i never sold mine
I own a Fiat 500 Linea Rossa 2016. Same Engine and gearbox. Bought it in 2016, but only done 800 KMS. I drive it around the block once a week, been garaged since new. Looks like I picked the right one. Subscribed.
No traditional chrome airvents.......Hmmm....RR?......not so
We own a 2012 Fiat 500 Gucci, it has 85,000 miles and still runs strong. My wife loves it. We’ve driven it everywhere. She turned down the Tesla she loves it so much.
He knows nothing about 1.9 pdtdi...period
Exactly, it's the best engine for the 500: I have one and it's adorable. Even here in Italy (I live in Liguria) it's a little-known version, it was expensive and they declared higher consumption than the 1.2, while in reality they are comparable... I'll post a video of mine that shows how much fun I find it... ruclips.net/video/RZOjBgIPEtc/видео.htmlsi=HUis7JMIyPNgj9PQ
Hi, how's the daily going? I've been looking for one of these for some time in the UK but none about at the minute.
This was a very useful video. Thank you.
First gear is too short
Nonsense about Panda looks since looks are subjective. My Panda 100hp 6 speed has the same engine and is very stylish and cool and is a second car for many discerning car enthusiasts. The Panda 100hp is much more practical than the 500 1.4 with four useable seats for 4 adults, but with a more neutral chassis compared to the 1,4 500 and Abarth versions as concurred by many tests.
@@cbca6567 Looks are subjective, as you say. I don’t think the panda is particularly stylish but that’s my opinion. It is more practical, of course. I’m not sure what your point is?
@@carsandcustard YEs looks are subjective and I was not enamoured with the pastiche styling of the 500 compared to the original. although the females in our family thought it cute. My point is that not only is the Panda 100hp chassis more neutral than the 500 and better handling as a result but that it is much more practical since the 500 is a 2+2 really and the rear is very tight and claustrophobic; the instrument display in the Panda 100hp is also much clearer and better looking. I do agree the 500 1.416V was the best of the 500 range at the time. We as a family were deciding between the 500 1.416V Sport and the Panda 100hp in period but mostly for practicality and uniqueness the Panda won. The Panda 100hp was developed to be the first Abarth but Fiat scratched that at the last minute.
the Panda 100hp is based on the 169 chassis, the 500 on the 312, more advanced and rigid, and has 4 doors (good for practicality, not for driving)... the 500 has better handling, is more reliable and has more advanced electronics both as Abs/Esp and as engine control unit (which is the Bosch of the Abarth)... aesthetics aside, subjective, the 500 is more modern and technically refined
@@ro62_94 Hmmm the Panda 169 and the 400 1.4 of the same era were built on the "same" platform and the 500 of that time was developed from the 169 with wider front and rear tracks and different rear axle with anto roll bar compared to the normal Panda 169; the Panda 100hp was developed initially as an Abarth and uses the Abarth 1.4 16v without the turbo, but has wider front and rear tracks, stiffer suspension, much wider low profile tyres and stronger suspension pick up points on the chassis. All the auto journalists that tested the 500 and Abarth 595 said from the articles I read, which I agree with, that the Panda 100hp chassis is better in handling neutrality despite the different rear axle on the 500. Regarding the 500 being more modern, looking inside they added leather and different sports seats but the central gearlever/air con controls/window lifters are located in eactly the same place on both models. The instrument binnacles differ, but for me the separate speedo and tachometer and smaller ancillary dials are much clearer amd sportier in the Panda 100hp than the overcomplicated all in one 500/Abarth spedo/rev counter combined.
@@cbca6567 let's talk about nuances, the performance and behavior are very similar, but they are there and many judgments come from the context: the Panda was noticed while the 1.4 on the 500 was mistakenly considered just a different engine on the 500 1.2... the 1.4 has many changes (setup, brakes, equipment, etc.) that Fiat did not underline... however, the 500 was developed on the basis of the 169 platform (internal name Fiat Mini) modified and stiffened on the basis of the experience gained on the Panda in the early years: this platform was called 312 and in the following years also adopted on the third series Panda and, with an extended wheelbase, on the Lancia Y... among the differences there is for example the size of the tracks which on the 100hp is 1378/1368mm and on the 500 1413/1407... always in terms of body the 500 has significantly higher torsional/flexural rigidity values (source Fiat eLearn) as is obvious given the 3d body instead of 5d and with a shorter roof and tapered tail, it is lower than the 100hp (1560 vs 1488mm) and lighter (975 vs 930kg) and has a slightly lower steering gear ratio... still in terms of handling, it is worth considering the presence as standard of a Bosch ESP calibrated very permissive both in stability control and traction control, a system that greatly benefits the 500 on wet surfaces... another note, the first 500s did not use an anti-roll bar at the rear, like the 169s, which made them more agile but created some fears among the core customer base and made Fiat change its mind, which mounted them a few years later (like on the Ka and enlarged on the Abarths from the start)... the footprint of the 500 with 16" rims is 195 like on the 100hp... as for performance, the engines are very similar but on the 500 some minor refinements were made (for example springs valves) and above all the control unit became Bosch 7.9 therefore mappable and much more advanced: the different control units cause slight differences in power delivery and consumption, but they are very small and difficult to perceive... in practice Fiat took the 169 chassis, improved it and made the 312, and then, to make it the top version and positively characterize the 500 at launch, invested a lot in many modifications on the 1.4 compared to the 1.2, knowing that the price would be high but that they would then be used on the first Abarth 135hp (which in fact have a lot in common with the 1.4)... many judge the 1.4 based on the driving of the 1.2, also because there are few 1.4s around, but they are two different cars in many ways... the Panda 100hp was rightly praised but the 500 is the improved refinement not only aesthetically.
Great video. I consider myself a petrol head and share your disappointment with all the other engines, I always said Fiat should do an engine in between the 1.2 and the Abarth engines. My wife has the 1.2 but wants more power without having to get the Abarth. I did not know these existed. Just wish Fiat had made more of them.
Is there any similar German brands to Brabus where you can visually see different kits and the prices? I used to buy Carlsson full body and exhaust kits for the older W202 models from 1994-2000 but Carlsson I guess is out of business,
I've just bought a 4.4 v8 petrol 2003 for 1750 euro drives great very smooth 100000 miles on it getting rid of it after a 5 hour drive cost 100 euro
Omg you sound just like Matt Watson
Good vid thanks. I own a 500Sport 100HP 1.4 & love it. It's just FUN! I had H & R springs fitted & the ride for me now is perfect. 👍🏼😎👌🏼
The least attractive real Rolls in my view. Still better than those gaudy BMW models we have now
@@oliverlondon5246 I wouldn’t disagree with that.
Thanks for the in depth review. Really interested me because 14 years ago I traded my ex Terry Wogan Turbo R for a Seraph. You’re right the Turbo R is a bit of a boy racer, a thug in a DJ. Great fun but verging on the crude, after all the basic V8 block has been around since 1948 if I remember. The Seraph engine is totally different, a smooth quiet sewing machine iron fist in a velvet glove. In D it wafts along. But it’s sport setting is “4” lock it in that and you leave any boy racer standing. Economy? Not as bad as you think. 18-27mpg, typically 21mpg. You can’t help but feel fabulous driving a fabulous car with the Silver Lady sitting in front of you at the end of the long bonnet. Sadly I’ve decided to let my Seraph go so I can concentrate on my Morris 1800S, 3500 P6 & Austin 7 box saloon. Currently on Barons Auction site with a very low reserve to get bidding going.
Two door silver shadow she looks gorgeous a proper rolls Royce
Best fiat 500c 1.4 video ever 💯🏁🙌🏼
Ive had my late father's 2010 1.4 blackjack for two years now and I dont think ill ever part ways with it
whats happening with the car now has it hit 500k yet?
I have the same car auto with a ninja exhaust and it sounds great, love the car too bits, put gold wheels 🛞 and a OEM rear spoiler on it and it looks so much better.
Here from Boaty's stream. A lot if classy high end cars. Nice!
@@thatguyfromcetialphaV pleasure to have you! I need to get back on that RUclips hamster wheel again haha.
@@carsandcustard I'm a crummy Brit living in the States. A lot of luxury cars over here as well.
I genuinely love this car....my dream car.....but the 'back-handed' compliments offered by the presenter annoy the crap out of me.
@@cadicorniche me too
brilliant M8t i'm in the market for a 500 now after watching this video I know what to buy...a 500C Lounge 1.4 16V 100HP Cheers for the video!
After watching your video, I want one now. You we're having so much fun .
My last two cars were Alfa Romeo’s, they were my all time favourites and I have had both Mercedes and BMW but prefer Alfa. I’m now retired and own a Fiat 500 and I love it. For everyday use its perfect, I only cary one pasenger so room in the back is not a problem. It has all the extra’s and comforts. As for the FIAT fire engine FIRE stands for Fully Integrated Robotised Engine.
Last proper Rolls-Royce with a BMW engine? The last proper Rolls-Royce is the new Silver Spur of 1997
You lost me when you said this V12 is a better engine than the Rolls V8.....by no measure is this a better engine, the V8 was in production for over 40 years...for a reason!......
I have a 2015 pop bought new runs great no real issues regular maintenance never had check engine light handles great in the snow still in good shape after 9 Syracuse winters looking to buy a second one I've been a mechanic for 35 yrs its the best car I've owned when it comes to reliability and surprised how quick it is
had mine pop 0,9 twinair from new,8 years now and today i changed the thing behind the door handle it was broken for some time now,nothing else has broken on it,only regular maintenance,good car.
Love these little things ❤
I bought a 100kM 330xd e46- you know what? Im happy 😂😂
I have the 1.4 multiair 101HP, manual with 247300 miles, still runs extremly smooth, all it needed so far was a clutch ones, timing belt ones and front break pads
Thanks for the info. At 138,xxx miles on my Sport, I feel I've got a ways to go.
Lol when you give it some beans and the back kicks out and your face goes from "Uh-oh!" to ".. oh?" to "Ooohhh =)"
Excellent review and history summary. I can't agree on the looks though - I just think there is something so wrong about the front side lights and also the rear lights. I do completely agree the Turbo RT is the one to have though. I would be interested on your view of the ride quality of the Seraph compared to the Shadow and Spirit/Spur. Given a Royce is for wafting along, that matters more than road holding or handling. Especially given the quality of our British roads.
Thanks for the kind words! I’ll see if I can pull some strings and get a few more Crewe cars on soon. I think the seraph appeals to me as from a driving standpoint it somewhat bridges the Bentley/ Rolls Royce gap. I’d like to spend some time with a DHC of some description though, I think I’d be more partial to the Rolls Royce experience with the wind blowing through my hair!
@@carsandcustard I can understand that. More modern cars are going to be better driving cars than those from older generations (though not really modern cars, which I now think are going backwards in terms of driver enjoyment). Whether they can waft like a Royce or Bentley of old is another matter.
You need to work on the accuracy of some of the history. The coupe was not made after 1981 (though I believe one or two were registered in 1982). There was also a fairly big upgrade for 1977 (big enough for the Silver Shadow to become the Silver Shadow II, though the Corniche didn't change series number). The steering switched from recirculating ball to rack and pinion amongst other changes. Easy way to spot a later model - look for the spoiler, rubber bumper and fog lights below the bumper.
@@saxonuk14 Unfortunately, I’m no RR historian. Thanks for watching 👍
@@carsandcustard Nor am I, but I know a little bit about a few cars (mainly pre-Merc Aston Martins). Really nice to see someone take the time to record a video of an old car like this. The Camargue would be nice to see too. And really nice to see someone take the time to answer a comment that wasn't gushing praise. Well done! I will have a look at what else you've produced.
No mention of the Arnage/Seraph with the 6750 engine, for me, the last real Bentley/Rolls Royce
1.9 tdi with turbo from audi v6 tdi and some fueling upgrades and cooling and u have a amazing daily
excellent video I would like 1980 s corniche coupes!!!!!
Great to watch. I’m getting a new white mild hybrid soon, really looking forward to it!
I got the life of me cannot find a 1.9tdi 4motion Passat! Been looking for the last year

Nice review… totally get your points. Found a special one locally and after seeing your thoughts we are off to drive it this morning…. It’s for my 17 year old daughter of course….. but I have to be collected from the pub in it. 😊
Hope all went well! Thanks for watching 👍
Great cars got two

I currently have a 1.2 Lounge, and I bought it because its cheap to run and maintain. The economy being the way it is I needed to save money so its helping me do that, plus its 60s styling makes it more fun to drive. Most cars today look like featureless electric shavers so its nice to have something a little different 🤷♂️
