It was, for all intents and purposes, a Bentley Mark IV with a Rolls-Royce radiator topped with the all-important Spirit of Ecstasy. It was initially available for export-only, until 1953 when it was introduced to the home market. Outwardly, there was little difference between the two cars, but in the engine bay, there was one main difference; the Silver Dawn used a single Stromberg carburetor, while the Bentley used twin S.U. carburetors. A total of 761 Silver Dawns were produced from 1949 through 1955, of which the majority had standardized coachwork from Rolls-Royce\u2019s in-house contract with Pressed Steel.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1952_RollsRoyce_SilverDawn1.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1952_RollsRoyce_SilverDawn1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"1952 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1952_RollsRoyce_SilverDawn1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1952_RollsRoyce_SilverDawn1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1952_RollsRoyce_SilverDawn1-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1952_RollsRoyce_SilverDawn1-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1952_RollsRoyce_SilverDawn1-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure>\n<h3>Auction Sales History<\/h3>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1094217-15361.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1094217-15361.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"1952 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1094217-15361.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1094217-15361-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1094217-15361-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1094217-15361-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1094217-15361-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1094217-15361-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1094217-15361-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1094217-15361-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1094217-15361-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1094217-15361-1400x933.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=2631&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=1094217\">1954 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn STH21 <\/a>&#8211; sold for $26,000<\/b> This 1954 Silver Dawn STH 21 was previously owned by well known Rolls-Royce and Ferrari collector Bill DeCarr.
