Hello again! :D
Touching on RollsRoyce and Bentley once again, we now look back at the last two models from the classic era of these brands, the RollsRoyce 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 RollsRoyce and Bentley during 1998, though while the Seraph ultimately disappeared into obscurity, the Arnage would go on to become a muchrevered 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 RollsRoyce brand has been generously granted by RollsRoyce Motor Cars, and I greatly appreciate their candour in presenting me the opportunity to discuss one of my personal favourite cars.
