Some manufacturers started to put the figure of the ‘Peeing Briton’ on to the hoods of their automobiles as a decoration, similar to the figure of the running deer on the first models of the Soviet ‘Volga’. Pontiac had an effective figure of the Indian (nicknamed ‘The Chief of the Six Cylinders’). Buick and Cadillac automobiles used to have various ‘flying ladies’ screwed on to them. And, by the way, the image of the ‘Flying Lady Ellaine’ on the British Rolls-Royce was originally called the ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’. But our ‘Peeing Briton’, on the hood of the car expresses his sweeping ecstasy with a much stronger conviction, as anyone can become immediately aware.

One of the Club’s enthusiasts gave us a photograph of his antique Super Rolls-Royce that he has decorated with a silver ‘PB’ mascot. This immediately made the car look more elegant and inspired, accentuating the features and also the characteristics of her owner. The psychologists say that the original figurine on the hood of one’s car is an efficient way to demonstrate that the car’s owner has a remarkable personality.
