Heavy laminated card. One of the lesser-known aspects of Jaguar Cars’ activities is that several military vehicles were fitted with the J6 version of the XK engine. They include the Fox scout car (which was designed and prototyped by Jaguar), the Ferret scout car, the Stonefield 4 x 4 Truck and all 7 members of the tracked Scorpion family – including the Scorpion light tank that was capable of around 60 mph on the road. Not bad for a tracked vehicle weighing over 7 tonnes! This is an unusual item and in unmarked Fine condition.

Substantial 46-page A4 booklet for the rally celebrating the Centenary of Sir William’s birth. Fine.

The first of four Lots giving an intriguing insight into the way Jaguar handled the brand – and their main sensitivities. This manual is dated March 1984 and has 8 Sections – Basic Elements. Stationery, Vehicle Livery, Distributors’ and Dealers’ Premises, Dealers’ Stationery, Dealer Signs and Flags, Advertising and Sales Promotions and Specialist Operations. Incredible detail – wonder about the size of the army needed to monitor all this! Fine.

Fully-illustrated four-ring binder in slip-case. Undated but in the X300 era. 10 Sections this time – Jaguar Range, Corporate Operations, Success of Jaguar, Safety & Security, Production and the Environment, “Total Care”, Financial Services, Dealer Network, Accessories and Info Updates. Fine.

Fully-illustrated, boxed four-ring binder. Undated but clearly a later version of the Identity Manual at Lot 253 above. Now 11 Sections – Intro, Corporate Graphics, The Jaguar Relationship, Dealership Design Strategy, Dealership Interior Design, Entrance Statement, Lighting, Signage, Furniture, Printing & Stationery, Livery and Schedules. Fine.

Single-opening folder focussing on interiors, with real samples of floor tiles, carpeting, upholstery, wall coverings and suspended ceilings. Has seen use. Two samples lacking. Fair.

The October 1963 issue and then five consecutive issues from January to May 1964. Being in-house, the magazines regularly feature material that is not available elsewhere. VG.

Seminal text on the creation of Jaguar’s world-beating V12 engine, by the engineer who led the design and development team. Historic. Covers rubbed, internals VG.

No fewer than nine copies of these important booklets. Most have seen wear but not excessively so. They span the years 1963 to 1972, less 1969. Very rarely offered in quantity. VG.

Catalogue No 9001, dated 2/94. Deals with Batteries. Starters. Coil Ignition. Dynamos & Control Boxes. Alternators. Lighting and Wiper Motors. An important book. Accurate diagnosis is essential, particularly when dealing with car electrics. VG.

Nine-page booklet listing parts of the 2½ and 3½ litre Mark V and XK120 in seven European languages. If you are driving in Europe, this is for you. It covers such aspects as – Engine Dimensions, Engine Performance, Engine Details, Transmission, Chassis Details, Performance Data and Dimensions. If you want the carburettor fixed, point to that in the English section and run your finger across the line until you reach the language you want. Also covers the XK100, but you’ll probably not need that(!) RS o/w Fine.

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.

USA Jaguar Technical Service bulletins in a broken run spanning 1969-1973. Containing over 110 original and photocopied bulletins, this covers all models of that period. Good/Very Good.

A thick volume of rare bulletins covering tools, recalls, warranty information and other dealer related subjects. The majority are originals with some period photocopied bulletins present too. Good/VG.

A set of forty-eight bulletins covering XJ6 & XJS models for that year. Condition varies.

Three separate volumes containing hundreds of bulletins covering of Jaguar XJS, XJ6 S3 and XJ40. A mix of original and period photocopied bulletins. Good/VG.

Body & Misc. Main and Universal plus numerical index. Undated but for the following models- 6 & 12 cyl E-types, XJ6, XJ12, XJS 6 & 12 cyl. XJ40 and Limo. Each tool described and illustrated. The second is a 52-page booklet with the same Sections as above. Undated as before but now for – XJ Series 3 (6 & 12 cyl), XJS (6 & 12 cyl), XJ40, X300, Limo. The first is a bit rough but perfectly useable, the second is Fine. Unused. Seldom seen and an important pair for any serious work on your car.

A full binder of Daimler Service Bulletins, all of which are original with the vast majority of being in good/very good condition. The binder is correct for this series, the back and rear covers of which are in very good condition although the spine is missing its outer cover and cardboard reinforcement insert. Please ignore the photographic light bleed on the bottom left-hand corner of the photo of the binder. Good to VG.

Named “Volume 2” since this followed the first “Volume” of Service Bulletins issued between 1946 and 1959. A good collection of original Jaguar service bulletins covering some of Jaguar’s most iconic cars. They fill an original factory binder with original separator cards.  Some of the bulletins have a degree of age discolouration and a number of the separator cards have lost their tabs over the years.  A good opportunity to start a collection or fill gaps in an existing collection. Good to VG.

10 x 9 opening to 29 x 19. This is the very 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.

This was the milestone year when the company introduced the name “Jaguar” for their range of cars. Highlights cars with the 2 ½ litre engine – the saloon, the open tourer and the “100” sports car (later the SS 100). The 1 ½ litre saloon also gains a mention. Covers are sl spotted. Internals are Fine. Marks an historic milestone in the Jaguar story.

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.

Leaf-green thin card covers with dark green panel showing “Jaguar 1939 Models” and “SS Cars Limited Coventry” across the foot. Models featured are the Saloon and Drop-Head Coupe with 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 engines, along with the “100” Sports model offered with either the 2.5 or 3.5 litre engine. RS VG.

This is the first of the pre-war brochures with the thick black card covers. “Jaguar” embossed on cover in silver ink within a white tri-line frame. 15 x 10. All the main illustrations are full-colour airbrush artwork and are the same across all three versions of these catalogues. They cover the full saloon and coupe range along with the SS 100 and the 2.5 litre and 1.5 litre chassis. Other contents at the back include a cut-away of the 2.5 litre saloon, SS Cars’ competition successes in the 1930s, colour schemes, list of extras and the SS Cars guarantee. Centre-spread has eased from the staples. Good to VG.

The second of the pre-war brochures and is identical in all respects to the 1938 brochure, bar one. A sticker announcing “The Jaguar Range for 1939” is tipped in over the 1938 Introduction. It confirms that the specifications for all the cars in the catalogue are unchanged as are the prices, which are listed on the sticker. These hybrid 1938/39 brochures are very much the rarest of the trio. RS and some pages are edgy. Good to VG.

Third of the pre-war black card-covered brochures. “Jaguar” now embossed on cover in gold ink within a white tri-line frame. 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 a revised price list sticker dated February 1940. Revised price list stuck over the list of Extras on page 15 – some sharp increases! This is a historic document, 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.

Dark green covers. The first book of a trio in this format covering the “cross-over” years. Published by Swallow Coachbuilding Co. Ltd, but with the “SS Sports” designation on the cover above the stylised swallow wings. Historic. Has seen use and lacks half the lubrication page. Good.

92 pp. 6 x 9.5. cover rubbed and some stains on title page. Good.

A massive assembly of reprinted magazine articles from Brooklands Books. Nearly 200 pages ranging from the SS1 and SS2 era, through SS Jaguar to the Mark IV and Mark V. They are in three parts – Part One – 1931 to 1937. Part Two – 1937-1947. Part Three – 1948-1951. A unique archive on the early days of the Company and its products. VG.

Untested, so sold as seem. VG.

Original and in very good condition for its age. Slight bowing of the centre vane by the starting handle aperture but an easy fix by any competent metal-worker. Some surface spotting and rubs to chrome. Would form an excellent base for re-chroming. Very rare indeed and in Good condition with potential for Fine.

In Fine condition and very rare thus.

Used but VG.

One chromed, one painted. VG.

Chrome plating poor but a good basis for re-plating, or as a door-stop! Rough.

Based on the large black pre-war brochures (see Lot 274 etc, above), but excludes the SS 100, which did not go into production post-war. Unusually, this copy includes price list stuck onto the back cover. Rare thus. Covers rubbed o/w. Fine.

14 x 7. Contents are 5 full-colour air-brush illustrations of the Mk V – the 3.5 and 2.5 saloons and the 3.5 DHC, with the top in three positions – fully closed, open only above the driver and front seat passenger (coupe de ville position) and fully opened. All have outline specs on the reverse. Also included is a small 4-page colour scheme folder for the Mark V and the XK 120. Fine contents in VG wallet.
