Rolls-Royce 100th anniversary of Spirit of Ecstasy

At the Salon Privé Concours d'Elégance in the UK, Rolls-Royce featured the great cars beneath the decorated 'winged woman' and highlighted their heritage with a 1911 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, a 1923 Rolls-Royce Tourer and a rare 1927 Phantom I Udaipur Hunting Car.

The Spirit of Ecstasy symbol that adorns the Rolls-Royce was designed by sculptor Charles Robinson Sykes, on commission from Claude Johnson, the managing director of Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce took the opportunity to celebrate by taking to the streets of London with a parade of 100 classic vehicles. As a lasting reminder of the event, Rolls-Royce have produced a special edition Phantom, while also revealing its future with the impressive 102EX Phantom Electric prototype test car.
