New question: What is the offical name of the Rolls Royce hood ornamant? Don't run out to the garage and look, its not written there!

-- mitch hearn (moopups@citlink.net), April 01, 2002.


The hood ornament actually has several names depending on what part of the world you in. Spirit of Ecstasy is the most correct. The flying lady, silver lady are also used. RR calls her Emily. The model used for the ornament was the mistress of the RR exec.
