David Kerr Photographer : Dreaming !

Today's "Spirit of Ecstasy" stands at 3 inches and, for safety, is mounted on a spring-loaded mechanism designed to retract instantly into the radiator shell if struck from any direction. There is a button within the vehicle which can retract/extend the emblem when pressed. She can be made of highly polished stainless steel, sterling silver or 24-carat gold, the sterling silver and gold being optional extras.

THE NAPIER-RAILTON ... David Kerr Celebrity Photographer.

I was lucky enough to attend the "Grand Prix Ball" at the Hurlingham Club in London this week, several historic racing cars were on display.
The Napier-Railton is an aero-engined race car built in 1933, designed by Reid Railton to a commission by John Cobb, and built by Thomson & Taylor. It was driven by Cobb, mainly at Brooklands race track where it holds the all-time lap record (143.44 mph) which stands since the track fell into disuse during the Second World War. Between 1933 and 1937 the Napier-Railton broke 47 World speed records at Brooklands, Montlhéry and Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
