Technique

Example of Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn manufactured during first full year of production, and exemplifying major shift in the company's production & marketing methods. Modified design including a redesigned engine for greater power & improved performance & standardized rolls-designed steel body, permitted RR to compete in export market effectively, & without loss of quality. The silver dawn was designed for export, as a means of improving Britain's balance of payments. 760 RR Silver Dawn vehicles were manufactured from 1949-1955; unlike many other RR products, the silver dawn was designed & marketed as an owner-driven rather than chauffeur-driven automobile (refs.1 & 2). This vehicle was the fist PR car designed and made by RR. Previous to this, the body had been done by different coach makers.
