Lot 122: Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn

This Silver Dawn, Standard Steel Saloon is said to be an excellent example, which is eminently suitable for use rather than merely standing on ceremony.We do know that the car was first registered to a Mr Harry Foster of London on the 2nd March 1954. Mr foster then sold the car to R. C. Hogg Esq of Northwood, Middlesex in April 1956. Current records show that the vendor acquired the car from a Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts Club member around 10 years ago.During the vendors ownership the car has benefited from a bare metal repaint (photographic record in history file), which was arranged through Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists Stewart Walker of Thatcham. The car has also received new mains, big end bearings, pistons, rings, flywheel, starter ring gear and starter motor, new ignition system and rebuilt fuel tank.he vendor states that the car has seen little use since his relocation to Bath in 2001. He feels that the car deserves to be exercised more regularly by a more appreciative owner.
