Hello again! :D

Touching on Rolls-Royce and Bentley once again, we now look back at the last two models from the classic era of these brands, the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph and the Bentley Arnage.

Built to be the flagship of their respective companies for at least a decade, the Silver Seraph and Arnage found themselves mired in the political turmoil of the corporate divorce between Rolls-Royce and Bentley during 1998, though while the Seraph ultimately disappeared into obscurity, the Arnage would go on to become a much-revered motoring icon, and keep the general underpinnings of these cars alive until as late as 2009.

Written permission allowing me to discuss the Silver Seraph and the Rolls-Royce brand has been generously granted by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and I greatly appreciate their candour in presenting me the opportunity to discuss one of my personal favourite cars.
