All cars until 1952 were export only mostly LHD models with column geasrshift, the few RHD cars had floor change. Most bodies were Rolls Royce Standard Steel, with very few coachbuilt.
From 1952 the Silver Dawn was made available in the UK, almost invariably with the Hydromatic box, standardised during 1953, The suspension was independent at the front using coil springs; at the rear the live axle used half elliptic leaf springs. Servo assisted 12.25" drum brakes were hydraulically operated at the front but retained mechanical operation at the rear.
