We review the Rolls-Royce Dawn from price to economy and all its features

YOUR ship has come in.

You have just won the Lotto and you've promised yourself:

1) A dream holiday.

2) A dream car.

3) A divorce.

Hmmm. That last one sounds a bit too expensive so let's concentrate on the first two.

I must stress at this point that Rolls-Royce absolutely pestered me to do this.

"Come and be a customer for a day," it said. "Come and live the Rolls-Royce lifestyle."

So here I am, top down in baking 30C heat, exploring the magnificent ocean roads and winelands of Cape Town in the £250,000 Dawn convertible.

And I could get rather used to it.

Of course, Rolls-Royce defines luxury. It is the standard by which all other luxury is measured. So I'm not going to tell you Dawn is c**p because it clearly is not.

It is drop-dead drop-head gorgeous, indulgent, young, cool — and beautiful to drive.

Before today, I would have spent my Lotto winnings on a Wraith. But not now. I'd have one of these.

It's got the same show-stopping coach doors but you can feel the breeze, you can see more — and everyone can see you.

So what's it like to smoke about in a Roller?

Truly special and as calm and relaxing as a spa. Dawn has four full-size seats lavished in butter-soft leather, sumptuous carpets, the finest wood and a fabric silk-lined roof that opens and closes in complete silence.

The twin-turbo 6.6-litre V12 is so quiet you have to give it a blip to tell it is running.

And it is so delicate through the gears you get the sensation of gliding along.
