The Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn is a car that was produced by Rolls-Royce at their Crewe works between 1949 and 1955. It was the first Rolls-Royce car to be offered with a factory built body which it shared, along with its chassis, with the Bentley Mark VI until 1952 and then the Bentley R Type until production finished in 1955. The car was intended as an export only model and most were left hand drive with column gear shift. Only with the R Type based model was it officially available on the home market. A mere 785 were produced between 1949 and 1955, as opposed to over 7500 Bentleys over the same time period.
Early models had a different facia (dashboard) from their Bentley counterparts. Later models were differentiated only by the entwined R-R logos on the gauges, hubcaps, engine covers, etc plus the different bonnet on the standard steel saloon as well as the square radiator.
The in-line six cylinder, engine had overhead inlet and side exhaust valves and had a capacity of 4257 cc until 1951 when it was enlarged to 4566 cc. The carburettor was a single downdraught Stromberg until 1952 when it was replaced by a Zenith.
