A Rolls-Royce icon turns 112.
Rolls-Royce is one of the most historic brands in the entire automotive industry, and even some of the symbols and signatures of the brand that are younger than the brand itself are some of the most historic symbols in the industry. One of those is the Spirit of Ecstasy, and today, Rolls-Royce celebrates its 112th anniversary. On February 6th, 1911, Rolls-Royce first registered the Spirit of Ecstasy as its intellectual property, and since then, the beautiful symbol has sat at the front of some of the world’s greatest cars ever made.
