I love the wonderful love story about “Thorn” and Lord Montagu
I acquired a bronze statue of a”replica “of the “Spirit of Ecstasy” mascot for the Silver Ghost Rolls Royce- signed Charles Sykes.
The statue is 29″ tall overall. The figure is 19″ tall and the base of marble and onyx is 10 ” tall.

Excellent post! I had no idea of the story behind the emblem. I’ll definitely go see the movie, although Christian Bale is much cuter than Montagu! Perhaps Keira Knightley as Evelyn (since she’s in everything British).

Good article! I looked at Montagu's papers last year when I was in London, and a few months ago wrote a post about him and Thornton. So I'll be interested to see the movie.
