Bonnet ornament stolen from Rolls Royce

A kneeling Spirit of Ecstasy, similar to the one stolen from an Isle of Wight Rolls Royce.

AN UNUSUAL kneeling Spirit of Ecstasy figure has been stolen from a vintage Rolls Royce on the Isle of Wight

The theft happened sometime over night January 26/27 when the owner’s garage in St Helen’s was entered and the figure removed from the bonnet of the car.

PC Lorraine Buxton said: "The kneeling Spirit of Ecstasy figure is very unusual because other Rolls Royce cars were fitted with a 'flying lady’ mascot and while the item is not the original it holds a great deal of sentimental value to the owner, as well as costing an estimated £300 to replace."

Anyone with information should call PC Buxton at Ryde Police Station on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
