Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy mascot ORIGINAL early Low Base version. 467=My ref:
$369.93

This is an original, Rolls-Royce, Spirit of Ecstasy, mascot from a pre 1974/5 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. (i.e. correctly unstamped, as it should be for this age.)
The same mascot (size, shape and fitting), was used for the later Silver Shadow and early Silver Spirit motorcars.

Condition: The mascot is VERY GOOD. Some VERY LIGHT surface marks, no damage, see pics. Looks fantastic on display, would look even better on a real car.

It is made of solid, polished Stainless Steel (as it should be).

Comes ready to display, mounted on a very nice round, solid hardwood mount with soft baize underneith.

Make no mistake this is the genuine article, comes with a money-back guarantee on its authenticity

Mascot (only) size is: 4.5\" tall (11.5 cm), its width at it\'s widest is 2.5\" (6.5 cm) - as it should be!Note: The original isosceles trapezoid shaped fitting is still intact, so this mascot could be re-attached to a real motorcar if required.

It is my understanding that this part will fit the following models: (HOWEVER I LEAVE IT UP TO YOU TO CHECK BEFORE offerDING - I may be wrong!)

A summary history of the Rolls-Royce, SPIRIT OF ECSTASY mascot.

In 1911 Royce became gravely ill; he was a workaholic and hardly ever ate properly. The company almost collapsed. He took an extended holiday in Europe and Egypt. He never returned to full time work in Derby, but lived in the South of France during the winters and the south of England. Fortunately for Rolls-Royce this allowed him to concentrate on designing for the future.

At about this time it became fashionable to put a mascot on the radiator of your car. Royce wanted a mascot befitting the style of The Best Car in The World.

Artist Charles Sykes was commissioned to design a suitable mascot and came up with the Spirit of Ecstasy (The Flying Lady). Its design was patented on February 6th 1911.
The model is thought to have been Eleanor Thornton, secretary of Lord Montague.
From 1911 this mascot was the suggested and officially approved mascot.

Throughout the years, there have been two main versions of the Spirit of Ecstasy mascot, a kneeling version, and a standing version. Although reduced to a mere 3inches today, the standing version of the mascot still adorns Rolls-Royce motorcars.

The \"SPIRIT OF ECSTASY\" mascot celebrated 100 years old on February 6th 2011.UK BUYERS.
