Cars for Stars News

A Rolls Royce owned by Lord Alan Sugar and used in the first series of The Apprentice, is now set to be auctioned, giving car enthusiasts and fans of the show the chance to get their hands on a real collectors item.

But, the car is down to be sold at a bargain price, expected to be auctioned off for just £20,000. This is the same price as a new Ford Fiesta Active X, ST-2 and Vignale model!

The Rolls- Royce  Silver Seraph

The auction buyer will receive a 1998 Rolls Royce Silver Seraph with  luxurious interior that is finished with leather. The Silver Seraph was introduced by Rolls-Royce in 1998 as a replacement for the Silver Spirit, with the company describing it as an “all-new motor car for the next millennium”.

As well as the lavish leather on the front seats, there are fold-down tables on the back for passengers in the rear to use.

The car is powered by a 5.3-litre V12 engine derived from the BMW 7 series and allows the 2.4-tonne car to sprint from 0-62mph in around 7 seconds. The car is also capable of a top speed of 140mph.

All that for only £20,000! And, of course, it was previously used by Lord Alan Sugar – what more could you want?

The auction

Lord Sugar had used this car in the first series of the Apprentice until it was sold in 2005. It was bought as a brand-new car and would have cost around £170,000.

The auction will take place on December 3rd at Olympia in London. The Rolls-Royce will be auctioned by auction house, Bonhams.

A spokesperson for the Bonhams says: “We have offered several of Lord Sugar’s cars at auction, and they always gain a lot of attention.

“They are well looked after and usually the very last word in luxury, and this is no difference.”
