Description
There’s nothing like an original car that has never been taken apart. Step back in time to 1952 with our exceptional Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn. This car is a rare example of a classic in its unrestored, original condition. Delivered new in Europe as a left-hand drive, it has spent the past 30 years lovingly preserved in a private collection.
Impeccably Original Condition
This Silver Dawn has been remarkably well-preserved. Its stunning black paint pairs seamlessly with the red leather interior and luxurious red carpets, perfectly showcasing Rolls-Royce’s famed quality. The leather upholstery has developed a rich patina and an unmistakable scent that reflect decades of history. Despite its age, the chrome details, headliner, and other features remain in fantastic condition, which is almost unbelievable for a car that has never been restored.
One particularly rare feature is the sliding roof, which adds an extra dimension to the experience of driving this majestic vehicle. The original handbook is still present, adding to the car’s authenticity. This example features the engine shared with the Bentley Mark VI and boasts the elegant “small-boot” design, making it an early and highly desirable model.
Rolls-Royce in the Post-War Era
The Silver Dawn was born out of necessity. After World War II, Rolls-Royce, like many manufacturers, faced significant financial challenges. Their answer was the Silver Dawn, which shared its body and chassis with the Bentley Mark VI and later the Bentley R-Type. The Silver Dawn became a symbol of resilience and innovation, firmly establishing Rolls-Royce’s unmatched reputation for luxury and engineering excellence.
