Footnotes

An historic model in Rolls-Royce's continuing story, the Dawn convertible was launched at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, reviving, at least in part, a great name from Rolls-Royce's past that had always been synonymous with unrestrained luxury. Although based on the Wraith fixed-head coupé, the Dawn had undergone extensive re-engineering to achieve its maker's aims of building 'the quietest open-top car ever made' and 'the most rigid four-seater convertible available today'. Some boot space was sacrificed to accommodate the folded-down convertible hood, leaving the cabin space undiminished, with the fold-down time an impressive 20 seconds. At almost 5.3m in length, the Dawn is a very large motor car; with a basic price of around £250,000, it was, amazingly, considered an 'entry level' Rolls-Royce.

The Wraith's 6.6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 was retained for the Dawn, its maximum output of 563bhp being sufficient to propel the 2½-ton luxury express to 60mph in a mere 4.8 seconds on its way to a (governed) top speed of 155mph. Power is transmitted to the rear axle via a ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox, while air-sprung suspension and automatic level control ensure that ride quality remains un-compromised.

Finished in Tuscan Sun with cream/tan leather interior, this left-hand drive Dawn was built to gulf specification. The car has been in storage for some years and may require recommissioning. Accompanying documentation consists of a photocopy Middle Eastern registration card and a list of the fitted options.
