HMS Jaguar was an anti-aircraft Type 41 frigate, no F47. The bulk of the book is given over to the ship’s one-year deployment 1961 – 1962. They set sail from Chatham on 7 September 1961, heading along West Africa to South Africa, including detours to St Helena and Tristan da Cunha as well as Mauritius. Then across the Atlantic to Uruguay, followed by Brazil and back across to the Canaries and Gibraltar, finally docking back at Chatham on 6 September 1962. Phew! The cap tally came with the book. Both Fine.

1:18 scale by Exoto. This is the 1988 Daytona car driven by Davy Jones, Danny Sullivan and Jan Lammers. Fine. No box and the estimate reflects this.

Pictures with a 1:43 scale Danbury D-type for comparison. Mint. Boxed. Box faded.

Huge at 19 inches long and shown here with the more usual Corgi 1:43 scale version for comparison. Mint. Boxed.

Superb level of detail that is Spark’s trademark and therefore in a different league to the more common Corgi model mentioned above. Now out of production and much sought after. No box but with both wing mirrors present and intact – they are often broken off! Fine nr Mint.

Excellent detail. Mint. Boxed.

1:43 scale and hand-built from scratch by Marsh Models, using high-quality resin material. Mint. Boxed.

At the unusual 1:30 scale. Clockwork and includes the key – usually missing! Mint. Boxed.

This superb leather-bound book was created by Jaguar as a limited edition to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1961 launch of the E-type.  This is copy no 201 of 399 and is protected by its own black solander box. Mint book in Mint box and only opened for photography. Rarely seen these days, especially in this condition.

Metal and wood carefully prepared for restoration. VG with clear potential for Fine.

Embargoed to 29th March 1971. Covering letter signed by Andrew Whyte (Press Officer) and J. A. Graham (Technical Press Officer). Contents list is followed by 5 Sections – General Information (10-page press release). Engine (38 pages (!). Car (19 pages). Specifications (23 pages). Drawings (21 pages). Photographs (6). Apart from photographs, this is a complete pack, I know there are other photos, but I’ve never seen a definitive list so I’m not sure which are absent. Pack is bumped at the corners and with some wear, but has protected the contents well. Fine.

This unique set was specially commissioned to fit standard and racing E-types but not Lightweights. Mint. Unused and offered here at a fraction of their original cost.

Peter was one of the engineers who built and developed that car. This is the rare leather-bound collectors’ edition, with the Jaguar “lozenge” badge on the front cover. Copy No 4 of only 100. Signed by Peter, Mike Kimberly (XJ13 project manager) and George Buck who, like Peter, helped build the car. There is a small gimp at the top of the front end-paper – see photo. This looks to be pretty easily fixable and the book is otherwise Mint.

This is the standard edition. As I mention above, Peter was one of the engineers who built and developed that car and this copy is signed by him. Mint.

Another of Peter’s deeply researched Jaguar books. This is no 22 of the very rare hard-backed edition and is signed by Peter. This is the story of Jaguar’s Competition Department between 1961-1966. As well as the XJ13 as above, this era also covered the Lightweight E-type programme from initiation to build and then support for the racers. Fascinating! Mint.

A limited edition print no 175/400. By Keith Woodcock, signed by him and co-driver, Chuck Nicholson. (see also Lot 467 below). Fine.

A hugely-impressive book at 11 x 13 and 240 pages. Deeply researched and well-written. Fine.

Very imposing at 35 x 24. Fine, nr Mint.

This is the first of three. They are all pocket-sized plastic ring-binders containing a very detailed set of information. General information at the front includes price lists, colour schemes, optional extras, etc. This one covers – Mk IX, 2.4 Mk 1, 3.4 Mk 1 and XK150. Sl rust on binding, will clean, o/w VG. Highly-detailed and rare.

This one covers – 4.2 litre Series 1 E-type, 4.2 litre Mark 10, S-type and Mark 2. Rare. Cover rubbed and sl rust on binding, will clean. Internals Fine.

This one covers – Series 3 E-type and XJ. There is more rust on the binding, which has also affected the early pages. There is a fourth book at Lot 513 below. Good to VG.

3 x 5 – slim with leatherette binding. Covers all cars in the SS range, including the SS100. Separate sections deal with the likes of – engines, transmission, carburetta, electricals, steering & suspension, etc. Sections at the back cover – colour schemes, extras, tyre pressures, road speed data, etc. Staples have rusted away and as you can see, the pages have been sorely affected. However, this is a very rare item and still of interest as another angle on the cars, especially for owners. Poor.

Has seen wear, but not excessively so and would rechromed nicely. Good with potential for Fine.

Fine.

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 DHC with 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 engines, along with the “100” Sports model as offered with either the 2.5 or 3.5 litre engine. VG.

They have now been mounted, ready for framing and display. This one shows the 2½ litre SS100. Fine.

Fine.

Note the external casings for the spare wheels – a signature of the 1936-37 cars. Fine.

Note the more elegant curve at the foot of the boot and the rear mudguard. Fine.

Much has been written elsewhere about SS Cars’ switch to military production during WW 2. Included were the airborne trailer shown in these three original photos. In his book – “Jaguar – The definitive history of a great British Car” Andrew Whyte tells us that 15,595 were produced. One photo sl browned o/w VG. Historic.

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), Stirling Moss (driving C-type No 17) and Lofty England (team manager).  A very special group of signatures that can never be repeated. Mounted, framed and glazed. Fine.

381/475. Portrays the world-record run at the Montlhéry track near Paris in August 1952. Signed by the drivers – Stirling Moss, Bert Hadley and Jack Fairman, as well as Mort Morris-Goodall, the team manager. Another unrepeatable set of signatures, as all four are no longer with us. 26 x 24. Mounted, framed and glazed. Fine.

A print from Nicholas Watts’ painting of Archie Scott-Brown in the Lister Jaguar ‘VPP 9’ leading Tony Brooks in the Aston Martin DBR2, Masten Gregory in the Ecurie Ecosse Lister Jaguar and Roy Salvadori in the Aston Martin DBR2 on his way to victory in the over 1100cc Sports Car event at the 1958 Aintree 200 Meeting. This was his last major title before he was killed at Spa in May 1958. Mounted, framed and glazed. Fine.

A broken run, spanning October 1963 to May 1978. These are all the smaller-sized magazines that preceded the shift up to A4. Much Jaguar history here – about the company as well as the cars. Also, a goodly record of the evolution of the Club, especially in the 1960s. A very rare opportunity. Most are VG, with only a handful Good.

1:8 scale. Dated 13 (8?) 65. Jaguar part no – BSK 4315. 52 x 34. Usual discolouration from the chemicals o/w VG. Very rare.

1:8 scale. Jaguar part no – BSK 2990. 46 x 33. This one is badly stained and missing chunks of paper. Could be trimmed but only its rarity has warranted its inclusion here. Poor.

Much less detail and 1:10 scale. Jaguar part no – BSK 3064. 49 x 32. Also stained and missing chunks of paper. Poor.

1:8 scale. Jaguar part no – BSK 1769. 49 x 43. Dated – 4.4.1955. Stained and missing (smaller!) chunks of paper. Poor.

1:8 scale. Jaguar part no – BSK 2772. 52 x 34. Basic image is intact. Stained on folds. Poor.

Heavy in the hand at just over half a pound! Three inches in diameter and ¼ inch thick. Lacquer intact on the back but has faded from the front. Cherished by recipients, so rarely seen on the open market. VG nr Fine.

Each mat shows one of Roy Nockolds’ paintings of Jaguar’s competition successes in the 1950s. Fine.

Size M. Well-padded and sleeves will zip off to form a gilet. Has seen minor wear and is still Fine.

In the heavily-grained vinyl wallet that is correct for the later cars. Contents include – handbook, sales & servicing booklet, Passport to Service and various smaller items including a note from Appleyards, the Yorkshire-based dealership. This particular vinyl wallet is a rarity in its own right, as are Series 3 packs with this level of contents. Fine.

Books and covers VG.
