  • The Silver Dawn introduced in 1949 was a “badge-engineered” Bentley Mark VI and became an enormously successful early post-war car. Aimed at the lucrative American market, the Silver Dawn offered an eminently usable Rolls-Royce and appealed to the owner-driver. Its silky road manners are quite simply delightful, and entirely suitable for modern motoring.

     

    The incredible 1953 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn featured here is finished in gorgeous deep Fawn over claret burgundy with matching leather interior. A spectacular no expense spared restoration was performed by Marquis specialists in the mid to thousands with nearly $100,000 in receipts making this one of the finest silver dawns to come to market in years. These cars are extremely rare and seldom seen and desirable American left-hand drive, this example also is fitted with extremely rare and desirable factory sunroof as well as automatic transmission. This investment grade Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn would be the perfect addition to any premier collection offered to the most sophisticated collector investor or enthusiast who understands and appreciates the rarity and potential investment opportunity of this extremely desirable model.

    Financing

    Finance rates as low as 8.9%.


    We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.


    We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.


    Terms available up to 144 Months


    If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, (314)291-7000 or credit@schmitt.com
