Both volumes of Andrew Whyte’s award-winning duo.

Estimate Price: (e£100-125 the pair)

Researched from the Company archives while Andrew was working in the PR dept at Browns Lane. The depth of research that went into these two books was exceptional, covering as they do, so many years of the Company’s competitive history.

Estimate Price: (e£40-50 the trio)

Issue 21 – the Fiftieth Anniversary issue for September 1972 and Issue 29 – the final issue for June 1973. After this, all the BL marque magazines were all lumped together in the “British Leyland Mirror” The claim was “A Paper for Everyone.” The reality was that with all the individual marques being submerged, it ended up as a paper for no-one. Also included is Sir William Lyons’ memorial card. All Fine.

“Les Metamorphoses du Jaguar” by Roland Urban.

Estimate Price: (e£40-50)

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.

B/168

Jaguar Cars 1972. 64 pp. 9.5 x 9.5. Although he is not credited, this was written by Andrew Whyte. A photo-review of the company’s history and products. A milestone book for the Jaguar bibliophile as it is the only hardback book ever published by Jaguar (as opposed to JDHT, etc.). VG.

Estimate Price: (e£40-50 the pair)

As one of the top Jaguar writers, Philip has assembled an amazing collection of Jaguar automobilia from the earliest days of the company and he presents an intriguing selection in these two books. There is some overlap but together, they present a unique overview of the company, the cars, and key people. Fine.

C/177

A rather splendid medal from the Netherlands in the mid-1950s.

Estimate Price: (e£40-50)

The car is clearly based on the XK120 and the wording around the rim of this medal from the Netherlands, reads – “Autoclub W. Veluwe”. Veluwerit 17 Juli ’54.” Dutch XK owner Bob Knijenburg very kindly translated this for me as recording that the Dutch car club “Autoclub West-Veluwe,” organised a tour in the De Veluwe region on the 17th of August 1954. This area is a National Park in the centre of the Netherlands. Bob also mentioned that there is a “Veluwse Oldtimerclub” in existence today – perhaps a descendant? I checked their website and the home page has a superb image of a Light Weight E-type with the wonderful strapline underneath – “Classic Wheels Move the Soul”- we can all sign up to that! This medal is a delightful reminded of those splendid XK days in the 1950s. Rare. Fine. Value? Who knows – let’s start with an estimate of £40-50.

Estimate Price: (e£40-50 the pair)

There are two black boards each with a scalpel-cut image of an XJR-10 in the suggested red livery. One shows the car in plan-view; the other a side-on view from the right. History records that predominantly white “Bud Light” livery was adopted. Here lies the rarity value of these pieces as illustrations of the jockeying that goes on behind the scenes to secure and develop the sponsorship without which, there would be no racing. An unusual, important and probably unique slice of the history of Jaguar’s competitive achievements in North America. Fine.

C/184

“Ecurie Ecosse – David Murray and the legendary Scottish motor racing team” by Eric Dymock.

Estimate Price: (e£50-75)

PJ Publishing. 2007. 272 pp. 9 x 12. In my view, the best book about Ecurie Ecosse. Eric is a Scottish writer and journalist who has been deeply embedded in the Scottish motor racing scene for years.

A superb book of motoring cartoons by Sallon of the Daily Mail. 7.5 x 10. 68 pp. Metal spiral binding. Published jointly by Shell-Mex and BP in 1956 to mark the 60th anniversary of the British motor industry. Naturally, given the era, the images include large number of Jaguar drivers. These books are scarce as many have been dismantled so the individual prints can be mounted and framed. Some age-browning of the cover and elsewhere. This is chemistry in action, not neglect. The wire binding is totally rust-free. VG.

C/200

“Mike Hawthorn – Golden Boy” by Tony Bailey, edited by publisher Paul Skilleter.
