Mark VII Hood Ornament

Hey everyone, just had a quick question. Did all the Mark VII nose cap ornaments always come with the little jaguar face? Slightly a dumb question due to pictures I’m going to post. I just haven’t seen any photos with ornaments like this.


Hi Austin,
I am an owner of a 54 MK 7 since 1967 and have a collection of Mascots amassed over my 57 years of ownership. I have short and long tail versions and a bronze one removed from chassis no. 104, but have never seen anything like you have.

Best regards,
Tom Brady

Thanks for the confirmation Tom.
I’m pretty new to the MK VII world but even I can tell that it isn’t normal.
One of the previous owners did some modifications to that trim piece so it can the Leaper on the hood; which is why its broken. I still have the other piece and I plan on getting it repaired so I can also use the leaper.
