A well-informed account of the XK 120’s competition career in the UK and Europe. Huge range of photo, many I have not seen before. This is the scarcer leather-bound collector’s edition in its slip-case. Mint. Unread.
Each mat shows one of Nockolds’ images of Jaguar’s competition successes in the 1950s. The brown baize lining is unmarked and the mats themselves show no sign of use. Fine.
The superbly-presented results of years of meticulous scholarship by the two authors. Of immense value to anyone interested in the products of Swallow and SS Cars, as well as the Jaguar Mark IV and V drop-head coupes. This is the collector’s edition with the copy number 47 stamped on a replica SS Cars commission plate on the slip-case. Mint book in Fine slip-case.
An important publication for owners of these cars. Complete but shows signs of wear. Good.
This booklet is specifically dedicated to “SS Sport” and this makes it one of the rarest pre-war publications and only the second I have handled in nearly 50 years. Importantly, there are two wiring diagrams at the back. One is for – “12 volt equipment as fitted to the SS1 16 HP 6 cylinder cars (1933)”. The other is for the same equipment “as fitted to the SS2 9 HP car (1933).” Hyper-rare. Fine.
As above, virtually no signs of wear, which is very unusual for a pre-war item like this. Fine
A genuine original that has seen time on a car. Will clean up well. Nr VG.
Normally, I’d hesitate to accept one of these as there are copies out there, However, this one came to me from a former Jaguar Product Design Engineer. It has his confirmation of originality, which I am happy to endorse. Fine.
All three look to have been replated at some stage. All Fine.
The large one has an internal aperture measurement of 100 mm, the medium – 70 mm and the small 63 mm. The latter, on the right, is a genuine ENOTS cap. Good to Fine.
1:43 scale and built from scratch by Marsh Models using high-quality resin material. Mint. Boxed.
A hugely-impressive book at 11 x 13 and 240 pages. Deeply researched and well-written. Fine.
Leaf-green thin card covers with dark green panel showing “Jaguar 1939 Models” and “SS Cars Limited Coventry” across the foot. Models featured are the saloon and DHC with 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 engines, along with the “100” Sports model offered with either the 2.5 or 3.5 litre engine. VG.
Volume 1. A very detailed study rooted in Urs’ own collection of XK120s. Rarely seen these days and the value of this book (and the even more elusive Volume 2) have climbed steadily. Fine.
17-page booklet produced to accompany personal tours of Browns Lane. Steps through each department – Machine Shop, Press Shop, Tool Room, Engine Assembly, Paint Shop, etc. Fully illustrated. Undated but photos include XK120s and Mark VIIs so early 1950s. Fine. Historic.
Never seen one of these before. Plaque on front is inscribed – ”Jaguar Cars Ltd 1961. Sawmill Apprentices.” Very unusual! Fine.
The cars are identified by body colour, chassis no and engine no. Each car was accompanied by one pot of paint and one touring kit of spare parts. Absolutely fascinating piece of Jaguar history. The value? Who knows but let’s start at £100-150.
It feels almost like aluminium in the hand. Therefore, it is made of “pot metal,” a highly variable alloy that was only used pre-war, before the more stable Zamak alloy was adopted. In other words, these are the only Version 1 mascots that were available pre-war. If you have an SS Jaguar, this is the mascot for you! VG. Very rare.
Includes a pencil remarque of Team Manager, Lofty England, at lower right. Limited edition. Signed by Lofty and the artist. Fine.
Stat. No 216 in a limited edition of 500. Mounted and glazed. 22 x 28. Fine.
It’s the centre-page spread of the 28 March 1952 issue of the “Eagle” comic. 20 x 13. It shows a C-type cut-away by Hubert Redmill who was Eagle’s post-war artist of choice, contributing nearly 40 such cutaways. VG. Unusual.
A mounted and glazed print by Michael Turner in a limited edition of 850. 22 x 20. Unnumbered. Fine.
A mounted print by “Moseling” who I have not been able to identify further. 25 x 19. Framed and glazed. Fine.
A very atmospheric print by Adam Phillipps. 14 x 11 and no 2 in a seriously limited edition of just 10. Fine. Attractive.
26 x 17 x 8. Discrete leaper logo across the covering. Combination locks. Strong and roomy. Fine. Unused.
The sixth card shows a cutaway of the 1993 6.0 litre engine itself. 20 x 14. Fine nr Mint and protected by its own carrying case.
The pack looks to be original, but the contents will need to be assessed by an eye more experienced that mine in these matters. Full details are in the photos. VG. Sold as seen.
Press pack folder containing a copy of the brochure “Refined Power – the New Advanced Jaguar V8 Powertrain” Fine.
3-page press release. 2-page spec sheet with notes. 2-page listing of Jaguar’s successes at Silverstone 1949-1991. 7 x colour photos. 1 x CD w many more photos. Fine nr Mint.

All still eminently usable. Not seen before and would cost a bob or two to recommission. Fine.
