I know it well, I have a Black Tulip roadster. We never formally named it
but she grew up to be known as 'Bee' which is hardly original I know. At a
classic car show I spotted an enamel badge of a honey bee which was just
right to stick on a switch blanking plate on the dashboard. Some years
later we bought the V8 who naturally became 'Vee'. My mother-in-law was
Vera also known as 'Vee', but my wife said "You needn't think we are having
a picture of my mother on the dashboard!"
