YouTube [LINK](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3jORCEH6og) to a segment of the opening of the first episode of THE GRAND TOUR. Fast forward to 0:36 seconds. There is an old (1930ish?) soft top, grey with dark red paint. Maybe (not sure) a Rolls Royce hood ornament? I just don’t know.

Can you get a positive ID for me please. And hey, if anyone wants to buy this for me then I would be eternally grateful.

I think you’re right on the hood ornament. Looks like a [Phantom II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Phantom_II).

It looks more like a Phantom I to me. Look at the bonnet.
