1953 Rolls Royce Silver Dawn, supplied new without body to Haracis Torrendell S.A. of Montevedeo Urguay for customer Jose Tellechea.

Chassis no. SDSMF72- Coachbuilder Inskip (possibly), currently in Luxemburg being restored.

I searched the hell out of this for 4 days, but for some reason found it today using exactly the same search terms :o

Post by: Carnut on December 30, 2013, 05:06:32 AM: So that's where they got the idea for the side moulding on the Silver Shadow from!

A great find; it's amazing that there are still virtually unknown cars out there from such a well-known manufacturer.

Post by: WayneB on December 30, 2013, 09:56:19 AM: The boot (trunk lid) and rear also reminded me of the Silver Shadow.

Yes, you're right - that rear panel is very similar!

It is a Rolls, yes, but nothing to do with a Silver cloud or Silver Shadow (apart from that bootlid!)

Post by: richard cuyler on February 15, 2016, 08:16:03 AM: Is it on an RR chassis earlier than the Silver Cloud?

Yes, that's right!

Oh dear, another re-post..
I didn't see it because I had a different builder, but my info (gleaned from that usually very reliable source, The Internet!) was clearly wrong.
I've given you your point (which takes you past my total!) and merged the puzzle.
