Emily and her colleague - female competition on the hood
08/18/2011
Aha, as we saw at Schloss Dyck, there are two different "Emilies", one the serious one and then actually a less serious one.
The 1927 Rolls Royce Phantom l is adorned with the familiar "Spirit of Ecstasy", while the 1911 Knox Type R has a shapely nude egg on the radiator.
We're not quite sure whether the Knox figure, completely devoid of patina, is actually original. But we are quite sure of one thing: The driver's distraction factor is much higher on the Knox than on the Rolls Royce!
For the sake of completeness, here are all the vehicles with their radiator mascots, the Rolls Royce Phantom I from 1927 ...
and the Know Type R from 1911.
