Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy Bonnet Mascot

Vehicle & Part Overview

The Spirit of Ecstasy bonnet mascot is one of the most iconic emblems in automotive history. Key historical context for sourcing the correct part:

Rolls-Royce was founded in 1906 — no genuine Rolls-Royce parts predate this
The Spirit of Ecstasy first appeared in 1911
Common eras for sourcing include the Silver Shadow, Silver Spirit, and related variants

Confirm the exact year and model before purchasing, as the mascot design and fitment varied across different generations.

Fitment Notes

Confirm the exact year and model before ordering. The Spirit of Ecstasy mascot design and mounting specification changed across production eras — a part listed for a Silver Shadow may not fit a Silver Spirit or earlier coachbuilt models.

Reproduction mascots vary in quality; specialist suppliers such as P and A Wood are more likely to stock correct original-specification or high-quality replacement parts
If originality matters for a concours or insurance-valued vehicle, seek an OEM or period-correct mascot rather than a generic reproduction

About Rolls-Royce

Rolls-Royce classic cars from the Silver Shadow era (1965–1980) through Silver Spirit and earlier Silver Cloud and Silver Wraith models are supported by a small number of high-end specialists. Mead and Tomkins, P&A Wood, and Frank Dale and Stepsons handle major restorations. Parts for the L410 V8 engine and GM400 automatic gearbox are available, but many coachwork components — wood veneers, lambswool carpets, and unique chrome trim — require bespoke sourcing or restoration. Hydramatic self-levelling suspension components are specialist work. The Rolls-Royce Owners Club maintains technical resources and some club spares. Values make full professional restoration financially viable for most models.

When sourcing Spirit of Ecstasy bonnet mascot for a classic car, it pays to verify the exact part specification against the vehicle's build date rather than model year alone — British Leyland cars in particular changed specifications mid-year without fanfare. Cross-referencing the original part number against multiple supplier catalogues often reveals equivalent components at different price points. For NLA items, owner club spares registers, eBay sold listings, and specialist forums are frequently the only viable route.
