- 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.

Watching this back, I feel like I was a little Harsh on the Shadow and Spirit. They’re still lovely cars that I enjoy seeing out and about! Early Shadow’s certainly have something about them!
I agree with you. I'm normally more of a Bentley man. And I think the new Rolls' are, indeed, a bit new money. But there's something about the Seraph that's just...right. I think I actually prefer it over the Arnage, too.
Great review - enjoyable history lesson too! Still a Bentley man though…
Great video and a very comprehensive overview of the interesting history behind these two brands… I knew bits of the story but not all the detail that you’ve provided. Thank you for sharing! :))
Thanks for watching!
I’ve owned 15 Rolls-Royce’s including a Silver Seraph. These are great driving cars and they are seriously underrated by the pundits.
😊 Although I myself are lucky enough to own this vehicle, a 1999 example. And a lovely car to drive. I still prefer the previous model, the Silver Spirit. Mine being a last of line mark IV example, with that old-school wonderful V.8 engine......
Last of Line Silver Spirit/ Spur and Early Shadow’s escape my criticism! Thanks for watching 👍
Very interesting and thorough review. Keep up the good work 👌
Great review Mr Custard ! Spot on !
No mention of the Arnage/Seraph with the 6750 engine, for me, the last real Bentley/Rolls Royce
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.
Very thorough review as usual 🙂 I always thought the Silver Spirit/Turbo R was a difficult act to follow and even though this has a more modern Rover P4-esque look with better ergonomics, it's still very Alan Sugar which puts me off a little 😅
Yes it is a little bit Alan Sugar!
Still waiting for more W211 Brabus videos!
Last real Rolls Royce in my opinion
What’s happened to your instagram Harry?
Having some issues with the two step verification! Should be back on within 3-4 days.
Last proper Rolls-Royce with a BMW engine? The last proper Rolls-Royce is the new Silver Spur of 1997
Sorry, purist here…and as a custodian on my tenth Bentley Turbo R - nothing replaces the six and three quarter V8. BMW and Volkswagen intervention…no thank you…..
Fair opinion!
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!......
The history lesson is boring!
Yeah, no more history lessons going forward!
