THE WHISPER MASCOT.
Originally designed by Charles Sykes, a little before he sketched the more common Rolls-Royce 'Spirit of Ecstasy' mascot. The late Lord Montagu ordered a number of 'evocations' of his original in the 1960s, of which this is a rare example. This exemplar, offered in very good condition, retains it nickel-silver plating over the bronze base metal, with correct Charles Sykes signature. Highly attractive and a rare opportunity to own one of the rarest mascot designed produced.
