A Very Rare 'St Christopher' Mascot by Charles Sykes
Sold for £900
(including buyers premium)
The late Lord John Montagu was a Member of Parliament and motoring enthusiast. It is documented that he drove his Daimler into the yard of the Houses of Parliament, Westminster in 1899 and the car adorned a bronze St Christopher figurine (designed by Charles Sykes) to its radiator cap. Reputedly, this was the first time a mascot was ever fitted to a motorcar and only a handful of the Sykes-deigned St. Christophers' are known to exist. Very good condition, signed to the reverse and marked 'St Christopher.
