New Old Stock Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn Bentley R Type Body

Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn/ Bentley R-Type Body New Old Stock

#B007786

Prior to the 1949 introduction of the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn, all bodies fitted to R-R chassis were supplied by outside coachbuilding firms. The Silver Dawn became the first Rolls-Royce model to receive a factory stamped-steel body. 1952 saw the introduction of the sister car, the Bentley R-Type, and a new larger “Big Boot” trunk configuration to accommodate customer requests for additional luggage space. This auction is for a later New Old Stock Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn or Bentley R-Type “Big Boot” body shell. The primed body shell includes all four door shells, the removable front floor panel, and the sunroof panel is installed. It has never been used and with only minor denting, is in very good condition. Wings, Bonnets and Boot Lid not included.

Also included with the auction is a New Old Stock, never registered chassis frame believed to be a Bentley R-Type, but it does not perfectly line up with the body.
