1 of only 9 'New' Silver Dawns to be factory finished in Pearl Silver (from a total production run of just 237)

Highly original with full service history since 1999
Displaying a warranted c. 78, 000 miles from new
Debuting in America during 1994, but not available to other markets including Britain until the following year, the ‘New' Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn was among the final variants to be spun from the accomplished but long-serving Silver Spirit platform. A late hurrah before BMW assumed control, the newcomer was based around the Crewe concern's familiar four-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent suspension, adaptive ride control, power steering and ABS four-wheel disc brakes. Benefiting from Bosch Motronic fuel injection and digital ignition, its smooth 6750cc OHV V8 engine was allied to a four-speed automatic transmission. Available with a bewildering array of options not to mention Rolls-Royce's bespoke `tailoring' service, the ‘New' Silver Dawn remained in production until 1998. Expensive yet exclusive as befits the ‘World's Best Motor Car', just 237 are thought to have been made.
