Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn
(Introduced 1996)
The new Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn embodies the traditional
Rolls-Royce values of peerless craftsmanship and the very latest technology. Superbly spacious and luxuriously appointed, the Silver Dawn mirrors the desires and values of its discriminating owners.
From the delicate modifications of the celebrated radiator, complementing the new styling, to the reshaped rear body, this new design is smooth, clean, more integrated. Uncompromising standards, tireless attention to detail, and a host of innovations combine to create
a thoroughly modern motor car of timeless quality.
