OT: You know someone actually did this once. He built a car round a Rolls
Royce 27litre! merlin engine in order to demonstrate the strength of his
company's gearboxes. He then put a Rolls Royce bonnet mascot on the front,
and was consequently sued! He, and the car fled the country. Now the car is
back - somewhere in the Guildford area, and I had the privelege of seing it
one time. Photo's, and more details if you want them.

Restoring a classic, and keeping the mascot would be fine, even though the
car was not rebuilt by Rolls Royce.
