Have you ever wondered if the Spirit of Ecstasy Ornament ,that has been standard on all Rolls-Royce cars since 2004 ,can be stolen?

It can be stolen on all Rolls-Royce models before 2004… The Rolls-Royce Spirit Of Ecstasy have an history of being stolen for years . To replace it costs between $10-50k dollars .

This 45s clips from the Sales Director for Rolls-Royce Tampa Bay reveals what happens when a Rolls-Royce’s Spirit of Ecstasy bonnet ornament is tampered or messed with.





When touched or even at the slightest tap, the over-engineered mechanism ,that is made up of a sensors, 7.3 pound tangle of motors, metal and plastic ,forces the ornament back into the bonnet . If you think you are wise, you may end up losing your fingers.

Apart from being used as an Anti theft device, the concealing mechanisms was actually designed by Rolls-Royce engineers to prevent pedestrian injuries during collision and accidents .



Bentley also has a similar mechanism that hides the Flying B ornaments.

A one of a kind made of 150 carat diamonds and platinum was commissioned in 2008 and the asking price was $200k dollars, that’s almost the half price of a brand new Rolls-Royce Cullinan .

What do you think?
