Ouch. Upun my word, that's painful....
Personally, I always liked Lady Jane as a subtle reference, but then the real Lady Jane Grey didn't survive very long at all, which might not be what you want for a car that is already much older than she was when she was killed.
If you want to go with the flowers there, you could try "Grevillea" after the Grevillea buxifolia, the grey spider flower. There are not really a lot of grey flowers to choose from. Or you could reference the car's quietness and be inspired by a name from RR, calling it the "Grey Ghost."
Or "Gandalf" (the Grey).... Or "Mithril," which comes from two words in Sindarin—mith ("grey" or "mist") and ril ("glitter"). I quite like Mithril at the moment....

Engine Noise on Start Up
Hi Guys
Here a Two Videos
The First one has the Strange Engine Noise on Start Up, which I thought was a dropped Valve.
Then when I Switched her off and Re Started her, there were No Strange Noises, except for a bit of a very feint Tappity Sound.
Excellent Oil Pressure and up to the Mark on the Dipstick.
Please make of them what you will and what you think that the Problem might be.

I changed the Oil and Filter about a Month ago with 10/40 after which She ran great up until I put the Mechanical Fan back.
Then everything went 'Pearshaped' and She Stated making all those Scary noises.
