Plus a cut-away folder for the Lynx D-type, accompanied by a price list dated May 1984. Folder a little edgy o-/w VG.

Lynx own card folder issued when they were at Robertsbridge in Sussex, plus the 30 August 1979 Autosport RT reprint with the same title and featuring VRW 215H. Two more early Lynx items. RT has horizontal mailing crease o/w VG.

“Lynx Cars” – 12-page brochure for the XJS range of Lynx conversions. “Lynx Engineering. Perfection Without Compromise”. Two fliers – one each for the Eventer and the Lightweight E-type no 905 TKN. “Now Every Body Can Sport Lynx Style”. Flier for XJ40 body-kit. “The Lynx Eventer” – single page flier. “The Lynx Lightweight E-type” – three copies of a flier from the new company’s new base in Berkshire, on the last lap to bankruptcy. All Fine.

1:43 scale by PRX Models, a subsidiary of IXO. Mint boxed.

All unworn and in original packing.

All size 15. Fine and unworn.

Adjustable. VG.

Plus three curved glass competitor’s plaques for the Lynx 40th Anniversary E-type Race. Donnington – 2001. Two Lynx pins. All Fine.

14 x Lynx license holders plus quantity of Lynx Historic sticker and transfers in three different styles. Fine.

They were key builders of the C-types and D-types, as well as acting as race mechanics for all the events where Jaguar fielded a works team. Joe also supported the likes of the record-breaking 7-day run at Montlhéry in 1952. A reunion party to celebrate this triumph was held for all the key players and VIPs at the Hyde Park Hotel in October that year. Those attending were presented with a superb leather-bound album of 147 mono photos of the event as it unfolded on 17 pages of photographic paper. This is Joe’s album, which was clearly passed around the table that evening as it carries an extraordinary set of signatures.

I have handled three of these albums, including Joe’s. Adding up all the unique signatures, they total 34. Assuming some did not sign, for whatever reason, I would therefore calculate that there were probably around 40 hosts and guests at the table. In other words, only around 40 copies of these superb albums exist.

Joe’s album contains 26 signatures – 15 I can read and 11 that are indecipherable! A splendid collection of Jaguar-related signatures for this golden era. William Lyons heads the list (the knighthood came later), followed by the drivers – Stirling Moss, Jack Fairman and Leslie Johnson. I can’t spot Bert Hadley’s signature, but it may be one of those I could not decipher. Then come the rest of the Jaguar team – Bill Heynes, Arthur Whittaker, Ernest Rankin, Mortimer Morris-Goodall, Phil Weaver, Joe Thompson (two signatures – one for each bottle?), Bob Berry, and Harry Weslake. Two guests from the Paris dealership that organised the record run – Christian Delecroix (the dealer) and Gerard Levecque. Other signatures include guests Bryan Turle of Shell and Desmond Scannell, Secretary of the BRDC, plus those I have not been able to identify, which will be a nice research project for the weekends!

This lot also contains Joe’s engraved invitation to the Reunion Dinner from the Chairman and Directors of Jaguar Cars Ltd. Plus a copy of the menu for the dinner and a photo of the Jaguar support team with Joe in the centre, instantly recognisable in his flat hat and glasses!. Fine album in VG solander box. Rare and much sought-after.

It’s several years since I handled one of these. The front cover features Roy Nockolds’ head-on artwork of the short-nose car. Inside spread has a studio photo of the car and outline specs. The back cover shows the date – Oct 1954. These have been copied in the past, sometimes clearly marked as reproductions or reprints but others from the dark side of the trade, show nothing. This particular folder carried my personal guarantee of originality. Fine.

This is No 29 of the leather-bound limited edition of 100 that are protected by their leather-bound slip-case and mounted with a specially-created “Lightweight E-Type” badge. In addition to Peter, this copy was also signed by four other former members of Jaguar’s Competitions and Experimental Departments – Jim Eastick, Frank Philpott, Roger Shelbourne and Brian Martin. This group of signatures is unique and unrepeatable as Jim Eastick sadly passed away last year.

A “must-have” in any worthwhile collection of Jaguar models. This one is in played-with condition but is solid, the steering works and there is minimal rust, unlike some. Complete apart from the plastic gearstick, which small fingers always manage to break! Rare. VG.

Each mat shows one of Nockolds’ images of Jaguar’s competition successes in the 1950s. They are as follows: Le Mans 1951; Montlhéry World Record Run 1952 (see Lot 510 above), Le Mans 1953 (two images, one daytime and one night-time), Rheims 1954, Le Mans 1957. The brown baize lining is unmarked and the mats themselves show no sign of use. Fine.

The china is Coalport’s “Camelot” design and uniquely each item has two leaping Jaguars face-to-face under the glaze on the base. Contained in a strong, dark blue cardboard box that features a metallic paper growler from the Mark 10 brochure. China – Fine and appear unused. Box – VG.

12 pages. Features 2.5 and 3.5 SS 100s and all three Saloons with an image, spec, and price for each one.  Chassis specs for 1.5, 2.5 and 2.5 engine are on separate page. Some spotting o/w VG.

This is a genuine first edition and the evidence for this is the eight pages with printer’s details at the foot of the back page – no RTs. This copy is enhanced by still bearing the tissue protection for the front cover. It has eased from the binding but is still in place. VG nr Fine.

A pocket-sized plastic ring-binder containing a very detailed set of information. General information at the front includes price lists, colour schemes, optional extras, etc. and is followed by details on the 4.2 litre Series 1 E-type, 4.2 litre Mark 10, S-type and Mark 2. Rare. Cover rubbed, as usual. Internals Fine.

1:18 scale.  Since the company was established in 1998, AutoArt have set new and high standards with their 1:18 scale diecast model cars. The detailing is exceptional and can be properly appreciated at this scale. Mint. Boxed.

Engraved inside the lid – “With Every Good Wish for Christmas & The New Year from Jaguar Cars”. The bar securing the cigarettes is also engraved with three initials “F. G. W.” I believe this to be Fred Webber, who was the exhibitions man in Bob Berry’s PR team and whose second initial was “G”. Very unusually, the case is still in its original silk-lined presentation box with the winged Jaguar logo. Fine and rare thus.

Plastic ring-binders. Pub Nos J29/1 and J29/2. Both first published in December 1960. Both volumes have seen sl wear to front pages and occasional finger prints throughout. I suspect these are either library copies or from a garage that did little XK150 business. Volume 1 deals mainly with principal mechanical and electrical components and Volume 2 focuses on bodywork. XK150S items are listed separately. Rarely offered as a pair. VG nr Fine.

“World Sportscar Champions” badge embroidered on right breast. Shower-proof polyester and well-padded. Windproof buttoned flap over front zip. Two side and one inside pocket. Size not shown but probably Medium. Has been worn but still VG.

Based on the large black pre-war brochures (see Lot 530 below) but excludes the SS 100, which did not go into production post-war. Unusually, this is the French-language version, which I suspect may have been intended for the Swiss market. Fine condition and rare thus.

Sl surface rubs o/w VG.

Original. Has been mounted on a car and shows some wear but will clean up well. Mounted on a Desmo clasp for fitting to badge bar. VG with potential for Fine.

1:43 scale. Dark blue with orange lettering. Includes the very rare leaflet with instructions on how to operate the ramps. Original box, which shows some wear. Fine model in Fair box.

1:43 scale. Superb level of detail that is Spark’s trademark and therefore in a different league to the more common Corgi model above. Now out of production and much sought after. No box but with both wing mirrors present and intact – they often aren’t! Fine nr Mint.

This is the catalogue and preview booklet for that sale. Another chapter in the Ecurie Ecosse saga closes. Historic. Fine.

One of the pre-war black card-covered brochures (see also Lot 302 above). Tissue inter-leaves present front and back.  Page 1 is the Introduction to the 1940 range. A four-page “1940 Appendix” describing the improvements for 1940 is bound in. First page of the Appendix has revised price list sticker dated February 1940. Historic, as this was the last annual brochure to be issued by SS Cars before they switched to war-time production and the company became “Jaguar Cars” in 1945. Centre pages have eased from the staples o/w VG.

1:18 scale model by “Paragon”. Mint. Boxed.

Fundamental if you are aiming to do any work on these two cars. Covers mechanical, electrical and coachwork. An exceptionally clean copy. VG nr Fine.

There has been some discussion about which E-type Spares Catalogue came first and this is it but there are two covers. Like this one, the very first had the cream logo and lettering slightly raised. Latter issues (and reproductions) had smooth covers. Sl dusty and with rubs on cover, which should clean. Good to VG. Rare.

1:10 scale and impressive at that size. Unbuilt and lacking the control unit which, I understand, can be found on eBay. Good.

Two with heat-reflecting foils and the third without the foil. Plus, an unmachined cam cover for the XJR-14 engine. Hardware items such as these from Jaguar’s race cars are very rare indeed. VG.

Lionel Rouse print showing Duncan Hamilton in a D Type with the race no. 51. A benign Sir William Lyons smiles approvingly from the clouds. Copy no 48 of only 150. Signed in pencil by both Duncan and Sir William. Fine.

Spotting and some loss on front. Good.

Special issue as hosts for the JCNA biennial in 1997. VG nr Fine.

Comprises – a car badge, a windscreen sticker and two dinner dance menus. The badge has seen time on the front of a car, but will shine up nicely. All items are VG or Fine.

Pub no E.154/2. Series 2 literature is seldom seen and this appears unread. Fine.

Shower-proof polyester. Buttoned rather than zipped. Two side and one breast pockets outside. Medium. Has been worn but still VG.

Jaguar Drivers’ Club badge on left breast. Padded, zip-front and with two side-pockets. Size not shown but probably Medium. Has been worn but still VG.

Pillar-bound and in 16 Section, all present, Most but not all, have their own card covers internally. This is a library copy with some page-browning but minimal use. Externally – VG. Internally – Fine.

Specially-printed Jaguar press pack for the XJ220C debut at Le Mans in June 1993 and recalling the 1953 victory. Matt brg press pack. Contents are 4 Jaguar press releases, including driver bios and a detailed spec of the XJ220C. Also 2-page press release from Unipart, the principal sponsor. RS. Two mono images of XJ220C car no 50 and one of the 1953 winning C-Type. Seldom seen with such comprehensive contents. Fine.

The superb access that Philip and Peter enjoyed at Bloxham, as well as a huge number of interviews and much painstaking research, has given us a book that will not be surpassed any time soon. This copy has a dedication from Philip to a previous owner on the title page. Black cloth binding in black cloth slip-case. Both Fine.

In the correct JaguarSport folder and embargoed to 10.30 am on 14 December 1989. Six pages including mention of – styling by Geoff Lawson and Keith Helfet, initial build of 220 with increase to 350 if required, application procedure, allocation on “first come-first served” basis and three pages of specs. Also 3 x 35mm slides. A historic moment in the life of the car – and for Jaguars too. Seldom seen, especially with the slides. Fine.

16-page booklet with silvery cover. Contains a very unusual selection of photographs of the development of the XJ220 bodywork, which was handled by Descartes – some of which I have not seen before. Some rubs on cover o/w VG. Rare.

Covering letter signed by Andrew Whyte (Press Officer) and J. A. Graham (Technical Press Officer). Contents list is followed by 5 Sections – General Information (10-page press release). Engine (38 pages (!). Car (19 pages). Specifications (23 pages). Drawings (21 pages). Photographs (5). Apart from photographs, this is a complete pack, I know there are other photos, but I’ve never seen a definitive list so I’m not sure which are absent. Front flap has been cut to reveal the embargo block. Pack is bumped at the corners and with some wear, but has protected the contents well. Fine.

Both were jointly launched at the 1948 Motor Show, so this is the true XK120 launch brochure, not the large maroon brochure at Lot 351 above.  The thick card covers are pressed to give a” pigskin” effect with a metallic title plate on the front cover. The whole is secured with a plastic comb binder. Mk V illustrations include chassis details as well as tipped in colour plates for the saloons and the DHC. XK sports car illustrations include body details showing such early features as straight-sided windscreen pillars and the fuel filler cap inside the boot. Huge at 16.5 x 11, the 26 pages include detailed specifications in English, French, German and Spanish. There is a degree of spotting on the title page o/w Fine.

All have detailed specs on the back. Fine.
