About this car

The Silver Dawn was the first Rolls-Royce sold as a complete car from the factory. Until then, buyers took a bare running chassis to one of many coachbuilders to have a body made to order. This one is described as a late-model car, with a 6.75-litre eight-cylinder engine, an automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive.

It is finished in silver over blue with a grey full-leather interior. A full repaint was carried out in 2023, which created the current colour scheme. The page says no rust was found during that work, and that all the door and window seals and rubbers were replaced.

The odometer reads 9,889 miles. The car comes with a large history file and a lot of paperwork. The dealer reports that it runs and drives without fault.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Rolls-Royce factory specification for the later 4,887cc six-cylinder engine. Rolls-Royce never published power ('adequate'), and the weight and performance figures that exist come from period road tests, not the factory, so they are left null.).

Engine: 4,887 cc, 6 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
Induction: Naturally aspirated
