One of 6 Built 1952 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Drophead Coupe Left-Hand DriveThis stunning 1952 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Drophead Coupe is a factory Left hand drive example wearing a beautiful older restoration. Subtle two-tone green paint with tan leather interior. This Park Ward Drophead Coupe, design number 322, is one of only six made. The swooping, front fenders blend seamlessly into the tapered rear with spats covering the rear wheels. Mechanically strong, it runs and drives wonderfully and the power top operates as it should. This gorgeous Rolls was ordered by R.D. Onan of Minneapolis, an executive at his family business, D.W. Onan  Sonsa major manufacturer of generators and generator parts. Originally finished in triple Bluepaint, leather, and top, it was fitted with a power top and windows, extension speak to the radio, dual fog-lamps, white wall tires, and all the accoutrements required for the American market. Completed at the factory on May 26, 1952, Mr. Onan took receipt in August of that year. There is no recorded history for the car until 1985 when a plate on the firewall indicates the car was restored by Hibernia Auto Restorations Inc in Hibernia, New Jersey. Legendary for their top-quality work, the Rolls was displayed in Monterey during car week when it was owned by Eric Lorentzen of Arizona with a picture of the Drophead being featured in the October 1991 issue of PRCLARVM, the Federal Journal of the Rolls-Royce Owners' Club of Australia. Sold in January of 1995, the next owner was Dr. Adolph Lombardi of Columbus, Ohio. A careful steward of the rare Rolls for the next 12 years, copies of invoices on file show regular maintenance was conducted by his local shop, Specialty Sports Cars. Acquired by the current owner in May of 2007, the Drophead has remained on static display for the last 16 years. Still retaining its restoration over two-decade old restoration, as well as a later Sony head-unit as well as a modern generator and A/C compressor, the car has mellowed over the years but still carries with it plenty of presence.A lovely opportunity to own a unique coachbuilt open car from Britain's most prestigious manufacturer during the period when the British motor industry regained its footing after the war. It is a rare beauty that would be the perfect transportation to one of the world's great automotive events, whether the driver is a participant or a spectator. Coachwork by Park Ward, Ltd.Chassis no.

One of 5 Built 1953 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Drophead Coup? by Park Ward Left Hand DriveThis Left-Hand Drive 1953 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Drophead Coupe by Park Ward is an extremely handsome original example that runs and drives well. Burgundy with tan leather interior and retaining its original engine. It is one of the very few examples of the coachbuilt Silver Dawn available. The Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn was a surpassingly rare basis for custom coachwork, with only 64 examples being released by the factory as a bare chassis. Chassis number LSNF41 was one of five Silver Dawns bodied by Park Ward to their design number 99, of which four, including this one, were left-hand-drive.  Originally delivered to Colonel W.E. Phillips, chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian farm equipment manufacturer Massey-Ferguson, in October 1953. Extensive original specifications included both a Sonabel and dual Windtone hornsundoubtedly handy in Toronto trafficas well as automatic gearbox, dual fog lamps, a power-operated hood, radio, under-dash header, and Sundym tinted glass. Curiously, the Colonel also requested Bentley-style dual exhaust, and had the car fitted upon delivery with French-specification headlamps, as he intended to use it in that country. The original livery was Blue and Silver-Gray, with Blue leather interior. If the Silver Dawn ever did venture outside of Canada, within several years it had returned to that country. In the summer of 1956, it was acquired by another important figure in the country?s industry, Jack Kent Cooke, a broadcasting baron now best remembered for his later business interests in sports team ownership in the United States. Later Canadian owners included the prolific Rolls-Royce enthusiast Gordon E. Smith of Orillia, Lawrence Szabo of Hamilton, and lumber magnate Fred R. MacDonald of Toronto. In 1963 it moved to the United States in the ownership of Dr. John Bowers, another well-known Rolls-Royce collector in Kokomo, Indiana, and was later owned for nearly a quarter of a century by John M. Herman of Philadelphia. It was then part of the noted American collection of Jim Covert, known for his attraction to exceptionally high-quality automobiles. One of five examples built to this design and an original left hand drive model.  One of five examples built to this design; an original left-hand-drive model Built for Canadian farm equipment tycoon Colonel W.E. Phillips Handsome original driverPrice: $169,500

1951 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn LHDThis 1951 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Left-Hand Drive is one of approximately 760 Silver Dawns handbuilt between 1949 and 1955. Black with tan interior and equipped with a 4-speed factory manual transmission. It's ready for minor cosmetics and mechanical commissioning at this time. An honest and original example that's been off the road since 1984. A solid and straight car with good panel gaps and door fit. The paint and interior are showing their age and require attention. Interestingly, it has early production features, including trafficator-style flip-up electromechanical turn signals located in the B-pillar. Offered with its owners manuals and tools. This early postwar Rolls is not to be overlooked by any marque collector or enthusiast alike.  Chassis: LSFC4 Left-hand drive 4-speed manual  Early production features A highly original example Price: $32,500

1953 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Standard Steel SaloonThis 1953 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Standard Steel Saloon was built for the Canadian market when new and delivered via Rolls-Royce of Canada to J.A. Boyd. It was supplied in Masons Black, complemented by Beige hides and piping. Factory fittings include a sliding sunroof, twin Lucas fog lamps, medium-wave radio, high-frequency horns, additional under-dash heater, and an automatic gearbox. The accompanying Schoellkopf ownership card notes that by 1964, the car was in the care of Dr. Lawrence Jones of New York, New York. This Silver Dawn is remarkably original and presented in unrestored condition with an honest patina throughout. It would be the ideal candidate for a straightforward restoration, or to prepare for long-distance driving events, where these cars are known to excel. This vehicle has been in long-term static storage and is not currently running. It will require mechanical attention prior to road use. Chassis no.
