whats this from

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I don't know but it looks pretty. time to get the brasso out and give her the polish she deserves! I assume there are no handy part numbers on the bottom? (no giggling!)

It looks like your client is stuck in the 20th century. A box of floppy discs stored safely next to a speaker and reading about the death of Dianna ;)
Offer him a fiver for it and have a cool bonnet ornament on your MR2

It may not be from any particular car, just a bonnet mascot that you might have bought in the 1920s or 1930s the same way as you might have put a witty "My other car is a Porsche" sticker or Garfield on a car in the 80s or 90s. I suspect the relatively new "Spirit of Ecstasy" would have been an item of envy for some drivers, so the idea of having something similar appealed to them.
