About this car

The Silver Dawn was the last of the SZ Series Rolls-Royces, built at Crewe for only a couple of years before the Silver Seraph took over. It shares its platform with the Bentley Brooklands and uses the long-serving 6.75-litre V8. Fewer than ninety were delivered new to the UK in right-hand drive.

This example is understood to be the final Silver Dawn built. It has covered 30,500 miles and is finished in Black Emerald with a Sandstone leather interior. The current owner has had it since 2015.

The history is the real draw: thirty-four main dealer service stamps, with the service records, handbook, tools and spare keys all present. The selling dealer's workshop has reviewed the car and reports almost no preparation work was needed. It is currently under offer.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Layout and engine only (6.75L L-series V8, built in Crewe). Rolls-Royce never published power, and I'm not confident of the official 1997 weight, speed or aspiration figures, so they're null.).

Engine: 6,750 cc, 8 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
