The approach of the 21st century saw the long running 'SZ' series of cars replaced by
the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph and the Bentley Arnage, both launched in 1998. While the styling was more
curvaceous, echoing back to the flowing lines of the Silver Cloud era, the engines completely broke with
tradition, being developed jointly with BMW, resulting in a 5.4 litre V12 for the Seraph and a twin
turbocharged 4.4 litre V8 for the Arnage. The smooth V12 engine was perfectly suited to the opulence of
the Rolls-Royce but the high revving V8, although sporting in character, lacked the enormous wave of
torque provided by the previous 6.75 litre turbocharged unit, resulting in the introduction of the
Arnage 'Red Label', towards the end of 1999, featuring the original power plant.
The 4.4 litre option
remained in production alongside for a short time, now badged 'Green Label'. The acquisition of the
'Rolls-Royce' brand name by BMW, at the end of 2002 (read more here),
resulted in the Silver Seraph having a short lifespan of just 4 years with only 1570 models produced.
The Arnage range continued in production at Crewe, with ever more sporting models appearing including
'R', 'T' and 'Le Mans' versions. Facelifted in 2005, the traditional V8 gained twin turbocharging
providing even more effortless power. The Brooklands coupe and 'new' Azure convertible were also offered
together with the long wheelbase Arnage RL providing limousine levels of space and comfort.
With many
parts no longer available from Bentley, we have continued to ensure we offer the widest range of
Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph parts and Bentley Arnage parts by continuing to invest in aftermarket and OEM
alternatives.
