The Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph is a large luxury automobile manufactured and marketed by Rolls-Royce Motors from 1998 to 2002. First presented on 3 March 1998 at the Geneva Motor Show, it replaced the Silver Spirit, which ended production in 1997. Silver Seraph production ended when the marketing licence to use the Rolls-Royce marque was sold to BMW, which began to manufacture cars under a new corporation, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
