Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

The Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn was aimed at the emerging post-war luxury automobile market. Designed as a more affordable model than the firm’s other offerings, it nonetheless proves the adage that everything is relative as its £4,700 sticker price was still 12 times what a Ford saloon would have set you back…

The Silver Dawn also represents a pivotal moment in the history of Rolls-Royce, marking its transition from working with third-party coachbuilders to building its own bodies, a rationalisation that was echoed by it doing the reverse with most components, i.e. buying them in instead of making them in-house; that this coincided with the advent of the owner-driver would have surely eased the transition.

A truly no-expense-spared example fresh from the hands of two well respected classic car collectors, this wonderful Silver Dawn is as well-suited to touring the continent as it is taking centre stage in your classic collection.
