Montagu created a mascot called The Whisperer for his beloved Rolls Royce using Thornton as the model. A variation of this mascot called The spirit of Ecstasy has adorned all Rolls Royce models since 1911. reeju, Matti Tapaninen, AJ, Abhra, Prachi, anon, Krithi, Jaggi, Rajesh K, Karthik, Iam, Paddy, anon, Arun Mallya and Krishnan got it.
