The portrait brochure is pub ref – 3/71/120M and shows cars with both the V12 engine and the straight 6 engine, which dd not going into production. Interesting echoes of the XK120 and the XK100! The two landscape folders also show the two engines. They are dupes, both with pub ref 3/71/150m. All are quadrilingual – English, French, Italian and German. Portrait is Good. Landscapes are VG.

All carry the strap-line used in that market – “The Ultimate Cat”. Plus, the booklet “Genesis of the Jaguar V12”, which tells the story of the engine that powers this car. For more, see the photo. All VG or Fine.

These are all Jaguar badges, but not as we know them. The large lettering on the two left-hand badges is the word “Jaguar” in the Russian Cyrillic script. The abbreviation at the foot of the lower badge is the four Cyrillic letters for SORM. I’m informed that this can be loosely translated as “System for Operative Investigative Activities“. This Orwellian title is the Russian equivalent of GCHQ. No sure what “Jaguar” means in this context – a branch within the organisation? A piece of equipment manned by these people? I’ve also drawn a blank on the top left badge I’m informed that the top right badge is a Polish police badge and that wording at the foot means “Intelligence Department” – presumably their equivalent of the UK police Special Branch. The Jaguar image leaping from right to left seems to be a direct copy of ours! Finally, the Jaguar connection for the lower right badge is not at all obvious. However, the huge airport fire tender in the middle of the badge is a Jaguar K-15 built by the specialist vehicle development company Colet Special Vehicle Design of California who specialise in airport tenders. The badge is worn by Atlanta Fire Department crews proudly operating their Jaguar at Hartsfield International Airport at Atlanta, Georgia “Home of the Jaguar”. I promised you variety in this auction and I hope this Lot ticks that box! Fine.

Over 400 pages. Dated February 1962. Pub ref J. 31. Very comprehensive and includes many of those very useful exploded diagrams showing how things fit together. Early pages scuffed, but rest generally clean w occasional finger-marks. As with the Mark VIlI catalogue at Lot 339 above, these 60-year-old books are not at all easy to find! Good. Rare.

Dated December 1962 on the cover with internal dating – re-printed June 1966. As always, hugely comprehensive. This copy is exceptionally fresh and clean – a virtually unused office copy. Fine.

No date. No pub ref. A very useful 15 -page booklet as this is one component of these now-elderly vehicles that can cause problems. Let down by water stain at foot, but still important. Good.

Pillar-bound. Pub no J12 dated January 1959. 160 pages of part numbers, descriptions and prices. Also includes a loose coy of “Cumulative Supplement No 6 to the 3rd Edition” However this is dated July 1958, so I assume that the contents have all been incorporated into the 4th edition, which is on offer here. Some page browning but minimal use. VG nr Fine.

Pub no – E.172/1. For Series 1 cars. Hefty manual in four-ring binder. Fresh and appears unused. VG nr Fine.

He dates it to the 1950s, noting the resemblance to the radiator badge of the XK120. In this example, the growler’s face is rubbed, as is usually the case. The chain and clasp are more recent. VG. Rare.

Bud Marston (above) devotes two pages – 108 and 109 – to fobs from this producer. He praises the amalgamation of the growler with the contemporary Jaguar wings logo and notes that they were principally produced in the 1950s and 1960s. This is a particularly clean example with no wear on either the metal tab or the leather fob. Fine.

Limited edition no 14/500. Celebrates Win Percy’s four victories in Nigel Webb’s D-type at the Le Mans Classic in September 2002.
