They relate to the early stages of the XJR project, before the car even had that designation. A rare opportunity to acquire some fascinating Jaguar racing and engineering history. They vary in size from 18 x 12 to 48 x 36. This Lot is six “Special Chassis Inc” (Lee’s firm) dyeline prints marked for the “GTP Model” (GTP was the IMSA class in which the XJR 5 ran).

An amusing take on those sprints up the hill at Goodwood. From the brushes of water-colour artist, Julian Kirk. Original artwork. Fine.

Spans the late 1980s and early 1990s. Magazines, brochures, price lists and much more. Check the photos for full details. VG.

C-type? D-type? Have seen use but VG.

Synthetic 51 ins x 25 ins. Some creasing o/w VG. Rare.

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

A print from Nicholas Watts’ painting of Hamilton and Rolt’s progress to that superb C-type win. This is a signed print and it is the signatures that make it very special indeed. They are of four iconic Jaguar figures, all of them sadly no longer with us: Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt (drivers of the winning car), Lofty England (team manager) and Norman Dewis (lead test driver). A very special group of signatures that can never be repeated. 32 x 23. Fine.

A works team of three XK120 ran. Two finished – at 12th and 15th and one dnf. The first of a straight run of seven Le Mans programmes. Very rare indeed to see so many offered at the same time. Great opportunity to fill your gaps! VG.

The year Walker and Whitehead drove their C-type to victory – first time out! VG.

C-type’s second victory with Rolt/Hamilton at the wheel and Moss/Walker in second place. VG.

This was the year the Rolt/Hamilton C-type won with Moss/Walker in second place and the Whitehead/Stewart car was fourth. Spine rubbed. RS but internally clean and unwritten. VG.

Huge efforts by Rolt/Hamilton in their D-type, including Hamilton’s superb final hard-driving stint at the wheel in pouring rain, came to naught with a Ferrari victory. VG.

The year of the tragedy. The Hawthorn/Bueb D-type was victorious. VG.

This was the year of Ecurie Ecosse’s first win at Le Mans with the Flockhart/Sanderson D-type. Includes article in English “Today’s Race” by Rodney Wakerley, Sports Editor of The Motor. RS but externally and internally clean and unwritten. VG.

One of Roy Nockolds’ finest paintings. He has captured the challenges of night driving at Le Mans that year superbly. Note the way light reflects from, but is held under the mist and the sharp red stab of the brake lights – masterly! Fine.

Bit rough but complete and with unusual track-side photos. Very rare survivor. Fair to Good.

Book celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Foundation of L’ Automobile Club de L’Ouest in 1957. This is the organisation responsible for Le Mans races. 9.5 x 12. 127 pp. In French, of course, but a quite fascinating review, not only of the Club and its famous circuit, but also the history of the motor car, which reaches back to the Cugnot engine in 1769. Illustrations are by Geo Ham throughout, many in colour and with Jaguars featuring substantially towards the back. The last 24-hour race mentioned is 1956, when the Ecurie Ecosse D-types were victorious. Large-format card-backed book. Cover is rubbed and spine is lacking at head and foot. Contents are VG nr Fine.

20-page booklet produced by Jaguar to celebrate the Walker/Whitehead victory at Le Mans in 1951. Excellent photography throughout, including several by Klemantaski. Cover rubbed o/w. VG. Rare.

Also, Tom Walkinshaw at top left. Superb and I have never seen a Le Mans collection like this before. Very rare, perhaps even unique. VG.

Autographs in the centre pages of the three drivers of the winning car – Dumfries, Wallace, Lammers. That year’s top set of autographs. VG.

Created by Italian craftsmen who bonded no fewer than eight layers of walnut veneer together. The resultant block was then formed into the two parts of the briefcase, ready for the hand-crafted leather interior to be fitted, along with a carved hard-wood handle and the 24 carat gold-plated metal fittings. It’s not clear how many were made but this is no 010, the three digits imply that 100 were made. Protected by its own cloth sleeve. Mint. Unused.

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 walnut veneer top is the same veneer used in the Jaguar saloons of the era. Still eminently usable as the two halves separate easily to install new blotting paper. The bronze Jaguar head is unique to this piece and has a very nice patina. VG.

These mascots were introduced in 1955 for fitting onto bonnets after radiator caps disappeared inside. The ashtrays were used by Jaguar in showrooms and offices, as well as presentation pieces. VG nr Fine.

These mascots first appeared between the two World Wars in Desmo’s range of animal mascots. This one lacks the mounting base and the estimate reflects this. VG.

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.

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 ne Mint and rare thus.

Mounted on the correct radiator cap for pre-war Jaguar saloons and post-war Mark IV and Mark V saloons. Chrome plating pitted, but not deeply and an excellent basis for re-chroming. Good w potential for Fine.

Lamp shade is yours to choose! Unusual. Fine.

Fully tested and with a new battery, so keeps good time. Has seen wear but has been protected by its slip-case. VG.

Some marks on back, which will clean. VG.

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

With silver lettering. A “Renamel” badge in its original box. Fine.

Six sports cars and racers, plus five saloons. Fine.

As described by Bud Marston on page 95 in his ground-breaking book “Vintage Jaguar Keyrings 1955-1980”, which remains the bible for this strand of Jaguar automobilia. He dates it to the 1950s, noting the resemblance to the radiator badge of the XK120. In this example, the growler’s face is sl rubbed, as is usually the case. The chain and clasp are more recent. VG. Rare.

Leather fob worn but metal tab only sl rubbed. VG.

Rear of tab is stamped “Made in Britain” and behind the tab, the leather fob is stamped “Brit Pat No 123572”. Three aspects are unusual, First, a cream-backed growler with a chrome “laurel wreath” rim. Secondly, the phrase “Made in Britain” rather than the more usual “Made in England” and finally, the “Brit Pat No” stamped on the leather. Neither this keyfob nor anything that looks like it appears in Bud Marston’s “bible”. Intriguing! VG.

2010. 66pp. Full colour plus CD. A Jaguar production that tracks the history of the company displayed through the cars from the SS Cars era to the modern XK, XF and XJ. Credit is also given to those who designed and built the cars. Fine.

1935 – 1985. A weighty press pack celebrating an earlier anniversary. Much lower-key than the Lot above! Multi-page press releases and a comprehensive series of photos of the key cars in the evolution of the company. Fine.

This is the North American club magazine not the Jaguar house magazine. A broken run of 27 copies from 1977 to 1999. Many historic writings and photographs. No duplicates. See photos. VG or Fine.

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.

Fits 1933,1934 & 1935 SS1 Tourers, 1935 SS1 ‘Airline’ Saloon, and SS1 DHC. This is a very rare item, needs renovation so sold as seen.

10 x 9 opening to 29 x 19. This is the rare Dutch edition. Covers SS1 and SS2. So far as I have been able to discover, this is the first SS Cars brochure that was printed in anything other than English. The second, in 1934, was also in Dutch. Folds are fragile and some have eased o/w VG.

Internally an 8-page fold-out concertina gives details of 2.5 litre Jaguar “100”, Saloon and Open Tourer, plus 1.5 litre Saloon. Prices and specs shown. Stamp of “George A. Final” dealership of Chesham, Bucks. on cover. VG. Rare.
