This is a big book. 9 x 12 and 575 pages long. Now out of print. The book is a balanced blend of inter-related stories – Norman’s life and career, the development of a world-beating range of cars, a different angle to the story of Jaguar Cars and, above all, of the team of people Norman worked with at the Jaguar. This unique career was crowned when Norman was appointed an OBE in 2015. Fine.
1989. First edition. As one of the top Jaguar writers in the world, Philip has assembled an amazing collection of Jaguar automobilia from the earliest days of the company and he presents an intriguing selection here. A superb enhancement of this particular copy is the wide-ranging set of autographs the previous owner has assembled – each alongside a photograph of the signer! They include – Pat Quin, daughter of Sir William and her son Michael, John Coombs, Dick Skipworth who assembled all those Ecurie Ecosse vehicles, “Whizzo” Williams, Damian Hill and Norman Dewis. Fine.
This is the 2000 edition, up-dated by Doug Nye and a consistently good read. Signed by Duncan in his usual strong blue felt-tip – “With Kind and Best Wishes, Duncan Hamilton”. Fine.
Special edition published for Jaguar Cars in 1980. Signed dedication by Andrew – “George, with best wishes”. Also signed by Lofty England and Bob Tullius of Group 44 in the States. VG.
Chris’s superbly- produced celebration of his wonderful collection of Jaguars and SS Cars. Fine book in Fine slip-case.
1993. A former French paratrooper, Roland was a luminary of the French Jaguar scheme in the 80s and 90s. His particular speciality was Jaguars that had been modified or adapted by others – for better or for worse! His own collection was unique and he ranged far and wide in his research for this book. It is made particularly accessible by being bi-lingual in English and French, though his translator was clearly not a native English-speaker. Unique, rare and fascinating. Fine.
A slip-cased special edition especially bound for Jaguar’s 75 Anniversary in 2010. This is No 27 and signed by Lord Montagu. Fine. Not seen very often.
Patrick Stephens. 1985. Signed by Win Percy and rightly so too as the cover shows him driving the TWR XJS on its way to victory at Donnington, first time out in April 1984. VG.
EPA in 1992. 12 x 10. 208 pp. This is the superbly-bound hard-back edition, protected by a strong slip-case. Not to be confused with the later soft-back editions. Ranges widely across the cars from the first SS Cars days to the early 1990s as can be seen from the list of contents in the second photo. Excellent photography throughout – some contemporary, some modern. Mint book in Fine slip-case.

1:18 scale model by GT Spirit. Superb detail that can really be appreciated at this scale. Mint. Boxed.
31 x 21. Shows two cars on what looks like salt flats. Brown car regd no CVC 454L and maroon car regd no CWK 212K (wonder where they are now?). The “K” suffix is for 1971/72 so that is an early XJ12. VG.
Measuring 31 x 21. Like those above, this poster is a convenient size for either the study or the garage. Sl surface creasing and marginal rubs that do not affect the image o/w VG. Not seen very often.
Unusually comprehensive set of contents including no fewer than 10 photos. Wallet VG. Contents VG to Fine.
This was the year the company started to move from Foleshill to Browns Lane and the cover shows a superb aerial view of their new factory. Facsimile signature of William Lyons. Rare. Historic. VG nr Fine.
Cover is Roy Nockolds’ painting of *Night-time at Le Mans”. Signed and dated by Lofty England, Fine. Rare with signature.
Cover is George Bishop’s painting of the newly-launched Mark 2. Signed and dated by Lofty England. Fine. Rare with signature.
The superb over-head photo by Frenchman Yves Debraine on the cover shows the start of the 1959 race with the Ecurie Ecosse Tojeiro-Jaguar, RSF 301, quickly away. RS. Internally fresh and unread.
They are grouped rather haphazardly into (I suspect) the sections that were used most often in the garage that used to own this. The main parts included are engine, gear box, steering, suspension, brakes, body, fuel system and electrics. Cars covered are mainly – 3.8 & 4.2 Ser 1 E-type. Mark 2. S-type and Mark 10. Mark VII, VIII and IX also gain mentions, as do XK150 and XK150S. In addition to accurate dating of changes, these Bulletins also include tweaks and techniques that do not always make it into the workshop manuals and parts books. In good used condition and largely free of the usual scribbles and greasy finger-marks. If you need to know more before bidding, just mail me. VG
27 x 20. No 33 of a limited edition of 100. Signed by Spencer, Norman Dewis and one indecipherable. Fine.
Not assembled so sold untested but perfect for those long, dark winter nights! Fine.
Unreleased factory poster of the car alongside a D-type at Silverstone. Press photo of the car in a sylvan setting and an XK180 mouse mat. The poster is very rare and the first I have seen.
