Offered by an Italian dealer, this 1998 Silver Seraph has been transformed into what is claimed to be a genuine one-off estate, combining Rolls-Royce luxury with the practicality of a grand touring station wagon. With just 35,000 kilometers (about 21,700 miles) from new, it presents in remarkably preserved condition and carries extensive documentation, including service records and photographs chronicling its history.
Though the dealer doesn’t disclose information on the coach builder, this estate retains the unmistakable presence of the Silver Seraph quite effectively. The extended roofline flows naturally into the rear bodywork, while the two-tone Royal Blue Waterbase paint, beige and blue leather interior and traditional wood veneers maintain the elegance expected of a Rolls-Royce. Power comes from the Seraph’s BMW-sourced 5.4-liter V12 producing 322 horsepower, paired with a five-speed automatic transmission that made the Silver Seraph one of the smoothest luxury sedans of its era.
The luggage compartment is fitted with a bespoke leather luggage set, an integrated pull-out table, umbrellas and even a shower handle, underscoring that this was commissioned as a highly tailored grand touring estate. The seller also notes the car’s documented appearance at the 2011 “Unique Special Ones” gathering in Florence, an event dedicated to exceptional one-off automobiles.
Offered at €138,850, this Silver Seraph Estate Wagon occupies a niche all its own. Factory Rolls-Royce wagons have never existed, making coachbuilt examples like this exceptionally uncommon. Whether viewed as an eccentric curiosity or an inspired interpretation of the marque’s flagship luxury sedan, it is difficult to imagine encountering another quite like it.
