1955 Rolls Royce Silver Dawn "Lightweight" Saloon by H.J.Mulliner

~ This is a truly exclusive offering of this 1-Off Silver Dawn...there's only one ! ~

~ This is the very last Silver Dawn Chassis (LSVJ133) ever produced ! ~

~ This is the only Lightweight "Alloy" Mulliner made Silver Dawn produced ! ~


The most desirable cars today for the serious collector seem to be from the big three...Ferrari, Mercedes or Rolls Royce. They have to be either a 1-off Custom "Coach Built" car or ultra rare low production cars made from the 30's thru the 60's. The last pinnacle on the investment podium are special cars that are made from Aluminum. The 300SL & the 275 GTB/4 have proven to be worth 3-4 times more than its steel counterparts. This wonderful Rolls Royce we have on offer is one of those perfect cars that have all the right boxes checked on your wish list. It is an all "Alloy" bodied Silver Dawn specially made for The Bowes Builder Corporation in 1955 to their specifications. This is a very well known Silver Dawn amongst the Rolls Royce community. It is a US spec delivery with Left Hand Drive on what is the very last Silver Dawn chassis ever produced & the only "Lightweight" Silver Dawn made by H.J.Mulliner.

Known as "LSVJ133", it was made by H.J.Mulliner & Co.Ltd. to a design that took the rather bland steel Silver Dawn platform to the next iconic level in Rolls Royce's future designs. Made from hand formed Aluminum, its become one of the Sportiest Saloons ever produced. Its Shell Gray over Black Pearl Coachwork is absolutly breathtaking. Its Cream Leather interior is stunning. It is equipped as follows from its original Build Sheet: It has a very rare, huge Factory sliding Sunroof. It has an optional picnic set containing a lunchbox, plates, thermos & matching silverware mounted in a sliding access door inside the drivers door. It has a crystal decanter & set of 4 shot glasses (missing 1) in the front passenger door, also inside a sliding access door. It has a set of back seat wooden picnic tables mounted behind the front seat. It still retains it's original notebook, comb & accessories mounted in areas around the back seat. It has it's original tool tray covering its factory Kinsman Tyre Pump system. It has a 6 piece set of fitted bags by "Velation Planned Luggage". It is also equipped with Air Conditioning with wooden vents under the dash as well as a modern Blaupunkt AM/FM/Cassette Radio.Please note that we have & are currently spending well over $5K. in recent needed maintenance from its last slumber to make sure this Gorgeous & Sporty Silver Dawn doesn't disappoint...

It was completely restored to as new in c.1989. It still appears in a wonderful state & shows only slight use & very few miles since. The odometer states it has only 37K original miles from new.It also makes an appearance in "Rolls Royce, the Elegance Continues" by Lawrence Dalton & "Silver Dawns & Silver Wraiths" by Bernard King. This is a must have for any serious Rolls Royce collector. Fantastic Documentation from day one straight from the Rolls Royce Foundation stating this chassis was meant for a Bentley, but was decided to make it a big splash & designated it to be a Roller instead. Please notice the hand written Certicard, both front & rear are loaded with all of the 1st owners want list. Then notice the factory specs Works instruction build sheet & the copy of the ledger showing LSVJ133 as being the last chassis produced. This has to be one of the most modern designs in 1955, of a very special optioned Lightweight Silver Dawn along with a ton of documentation to back it up. Please consider this 1-off Alloy Bodied Rolls that sports the last Dawn Chassis in which ended one of the most exclusive & exciting eras in Rolls Royce history.

    Rolls-Royce Ghost Zenith Collector's Edition is the ultimate Ghost

    Wed, Aug 14 2019

    This generation of Rolls-Royce Ghost is coming to a close. We’ve seen a couple of prototypes for the new Ghost out testing in the wild, but it looks like Rolls has one more ace to play on the current car: the Zenith CollectorÂ’s Edition. If youÂ’re an avid Rolls-Royce enthusiast, you may remember that the British marque introduced a Zenith edition of the Phantom in 2016 when that generation of Phantom was wrapping up its 13-year tenure. WeÂ’ve had the current Ghost for about 10 years now, which means a new one is right around the corner. Before itÂ’s finished, Rolls-Royce is screwing together 50 of these Zenith Edition cars. Rolls says these 50 cars “will feature the highest levels of bespoke ever seen on a Ghost Collection car.” ThatÂ’s saying something for a company that will pretty much do anything you ask so long as your bank account can back it up. Take a gander through the photos above to see what the 1 percenters are riding around in these days. Changes to this Ghost versus a regular one are inspired from the 200EX Concept, which was the concept car for the Ghost back in 2009. Each Zenith Edition will house a commemorative ingot made from the 200EXÂ’s Spirit of Ecstasy — itÂ’s melted down, then part of it is being placed into the center console of each of the 50 Zeniths. There is a plaque that explains exactly what it is to anyone wondering. The center console features an engraving of some part of the 200EX Concept. The owner gets to choose exactly what part it is. All the door pockets are illuminated with some rather fantastic-looking lights shining through perforated leather. A special clock and door sill commemorates this Ghost as the Zenith Edition. From the outside, youÂ’ll notice that all Ghost Zenith cars have a two-tone paint scheme with only three options, all shown here. Rolls doesnÂ’t say how much they cost, but it does warn that order books for the Zenith will close imminently. The cars are being manufactured in West Sussex as we speak.

    Rolls-Royce to decide on SUV by year's end

    Fri, Jan 9 2015

    The market for high-end luxury SUVs continues to climb, but Rolls-Royce is in no huge rush to jump on the leather-clad, high-riding bandwagon. The company has just announced a new sales record for the fifth year running, with over 4,000 units delivered in 2014. But it recognizes that SUVs are where the market is going, so it's going to carefully weigh its options, and make a decision on how to proceed by the end of 2015. This according to Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos in speaking with Auto Express. "There is not yet a final decision, because we still need to answer a couple of questions ourselves," said Muller-Otvos in regard to a potential SUV, admitting, "You need to move the brand from time to time, you need to go with the flow. We might even see in a few years that the classical sedan segments are shrinking due to the fact that SUV type vehicles are growing. So if you don't change your product portfolio to something that is up to date then at some point in time you might even die." If the storied Goodwood-based marque does proceed with an SUV, it would be following former sister-company Bentley into the segment. But they're not the only ones. Mercedes is said to be preparing a Maybach version of the next GL-Class, Jaguar Land Rover keeps making increasingly expensive and luxurious Range Rovers, and Maserati is preparing to launch its Levante crossover. The prospect of an SUV isn't the only project Rolls-Royce has in the works, though. It's got a convertible version of the Wraith coming soon, and sooner or later there will be a replacement for the thirteen-year-old Phantom saloon, potentially to include some carbon fiber in its construction to help trim weight. A hybrid powertrain could be in the mix as well, though customers have shunned the idea of a pure electric model. Just don't expect a Rolls-Royce more accessible than the Ghost: the company is glad to be growing its sales, but is not chasing any specific sales targets that would press it to cheapen the brand by going down-market.

    BMW sold 2.49 million BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce vehicles in 2018

    Tue, Jan 8 2019

    FRANKFURT — German carmaker BMW on Tuesday said it achieved record sales of 2.49 million BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce vehicles last year. "BMW Group achieved record sales in 2018. 2.49 million vehicles mean the BMW Group is the world's leading premium automotive company for the 15th year running," Chief Executive Harald Krueger said. In 2017, BMW Group sold 2.46 million vehicles. Daimler has not yet released annual sales figures for Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, so it remains unclear whether BMW brand overtook Mercedes-Benz in terms of sales in 2018. Sales of BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce cars were higher than Mercedes-Benz in 2017.
