<P> The very first Rolls - Royce motorcars did not feature radiator mascots; they simply carried the Rolls - Royce emblem . When Montagu commissioned his friend, sculptor Charles Robinson Sykes, who worked in London under the nobleman's patronage, to sculpt a personal mascot for the bonnet of his 1909 Rolls - Royce Silver Ghost, Sykes chose Eleanor Velasco Thornton as his model . Sykes originally crafted a figurine of her in fluttering robes, having placed one forefinger against her lips--to symbolize the secret of their love affair . The figurine was consequently named The Whisper and is on display at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu along with other Spirit of Ecstasy figurines . </P> <P> Only three or four castings were ever made, and only two are believed to have survived . </P> <P> The Spirit of Ecstasy, also called "Emily", "Silver Lady" or "Flying Lady", was designed by English sculptor Charles Robinson Sykes, a graduate of London's Royal College of Art, and carries with it a story about secret passion between Montagu, second Baron Montagu of Beaulieu after 1905, a pioneer of the automobile movement, and editor of The Car Illustrated magazine from 1902, and the model for the emblem, Eleanor Velasco Thornton . Eleanor (also known as Thorn) was the secretary of John Walter, who fell in love with her in 1902 when she worked for him on the aforesaid motoring magazine . Their secret love was to remain hidden, limited to their circle of friends, for more than a decade . The reason for the secrecy was Eleanor's impoverished social and economic status, which was an obstacle to their love . On the other hand, Montagu was married to Lady Cecil Victoria Constance Kerr since 1889 . </P> <P> By 1910 personal mascots had become the fashion of the day . Rolls - Royce were concerned to note that some owners were affixing "inappropriate" ornaments to their cars . Claude Johnson, then managing director of Rolls - Royce Motor Cars, was asked to commission a more dignified and graceful mascot . </P>
