John Dodd (13 December 1932 — 6 December 2022) was an Epsom engineer, and automatic transmission specialist. Dodd was the creator of the aero-engined car, "The Beast", which featured in several television programmes, and received large-scale press coverage during Dodd's legal disputes with Rolls-Royce, over his use of the firms' radiator grill and Spirit of Ecstasy.
The Beast was brought to the attention of Rolls-Royce, who took Dodd to court after he refused to remove their radiator grille, badges, and Spirit of Ecstasy mascot. After a heavily publicised trial, Dodd lost the court case and the Rolls-Royce trademarked features were removed. The grille was replaced with one bearing Dodd's "JD" initials.
