"Automapic" sliding map folder bearing Jaguar and Daimler logos. Contains
a key map to Great Britain and 12 larger-scale maps, each covering a different area,
in a plastic case. The key map and slides for six others are visible from the front and a
further six map accessible from the back. This was clearly originally a Daimler item as
the front show the Daimler logo printed onto the case, whereas the rear has a plastic
Jaguar sticker over the Daimler logo. Faint traces of glue indicate that this might have been the
case for the front too. An unusual item in Very Good condition.
