First time on the market for this rare, privately-commissioned original
painting by Roy Nockolds. Showing a Mark VIII or Mark IX saloon running
through a country lane on a moonlit night, this work is a fine example of
Nockold's great skill in handling the effects of headlights at night.
Private commissions of Jaguars seldom come to market. Oil on canvas.
Framed. Signed by the artist.

This is one of the key Jaguar posters in any collection. It celebrates
Ian Appleyard's magnificent achievement in winning the Alpine Gold Cup in
July 1952. To win the Alpine without losing a single point is achievement
enough. To win it on three consecutive years and still not drop a point,
re-defines the word "outstanding". This original Jaguar showroom poster is
fittingly printed in gold and is in fine condition. I cannot remember
seeing one at market in over 25 years of collecting.

The Dundrod circuit in Northern Ireland saw several important Jaguar
successes in the early 1950s. The 1951 Ulster T.T. saw the C types of
Stirling Moss, Peter Walker and Tony Rolt in the first three places. Rolt
also put up the fastest lap at 86.40 mph. Naturally, they secured the team
prize too. This original factory showroom poster celebrating the achievement
is in very good condition and has been dry-mounted on card.

The Tulip Rally was acknowledged as one of the most testing events of the
era. In April 1951, XK 120s came in first and second. The winners were
that supreme rally team, Ian and Pat Appleyard, with the Swiss fighter pilot
Rolf Habisreutinger in second place. This original showroom poster has
eased across the centre fold and been selotaped to the rear. It is now
dry-mounted on card. Good.

The Silverstone International Trophy Meeting was a Jaguar benefit
throughout the 1950s. This poster for the 1951 event makes the point well.
Jaguars secured the first five places and (needless to say!) the Team Prize.
An original showroom poster showing a tiny paper loss at top left and very
slight age browning. Dry-mounted on card. Very good.

The Rallye du Soleil gave the impression of being a gentle fine weather run
around the French Riviera. Far from it. While not in the same class as the
Tulip, the Alpine or the Monte Carlo, it was a ranking rally of over 900
miles run from 17 different start points across Europe. In all, a real test
of driver, navigator and the mechanics. This original factory showroom
poster celebrates another Jaguar clean sweep - this time in the 1951 event,
when XK 120s filled the first four places. This is a particularly fine
poster with only a tiny loss of paper at the bottom left corner. It is
dry-mounted on card.

Not all Jaguar successes were scored in head to head competition. In the
Jaguar legend, Montlhery is synonymous with timed runs against the clock.
This original factory poster celebrates an XK 120 achievement with Leslie
Johnson's March 1951 record of covering 131.83 miles in the hour. A very
good poster with some age browning and small paper loss at top left.
Dry-mounted on card.

1950 saw Ian Appleyard secure the first of his trio of Alpine Cups with
wins in no less than three classes, plus the fastest flying kilometre and
other sub-event wins. An original factory showroom poster. Some spotting,
creasing and age-browning. Good.

price list is pasted to the inside of the front cover and there is a fresh
gold and black SS "seal" securing the inside pocket. Sl. spotting and age

Jaguar. The slim grey 1938 range brochure. Features 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5

are described here). Grey-tone photo-based illustrations throughout. Very
sl rusting of the staples which has not affected the paper. Fine copy.

very good item.

This unprepossessing brown, beige and gold brochure is one of the rarest
items of post-war Jaguar sales literature. This 1945 publication carries
the same cover as the 1940 version of the brochure, but the text and
illustrations are very different. The range of cars does hark back to
pre-war days with the SS 100 listed, even though it was not produced
post-war. However, the real key to its rarity is that the front cover still
shows the pre-war SS Cars winged logo. The company changed its name to
Jaguar Cars in March 1945. Very few of these brochures were issued by the factory
and even fewer survive. This brochure, stamped by Victor Ltd, the Belfast distributors, is in fair
condition overall with a fine cover but some ink stains on the inside text
pages and separated at the folds. However, it is a very rare item indeed -
I have only ever seen one other.

German text. Dry-mounted on card. A good item.

The SS Sports. This 1931 SS II folder, along with its sister folder for
the SS1, marked the arrival on the market of William Lyons' own cars. A

Shows side, front and three-quarters view of the "helmet-winged" 1931/32
model. Specs, colour schemes and dimensions. Rubbed and with some sl dust
staining. Two folds have eased and been professionally repaired with
archival tape. There is also a whiff of chemical cleaning about this item.
Good, scarce.
