Ecurie Ecosse tuning wizard "Wilkie" Wilkinson, needs no introduction to
Jaguar enthusiasts. This unique group of personal items is from Wilkie's
estate and includes his membership cards from the British Racing Mechanics Club,
correspondence between Wilkie and Denis Jenkinson, a "thank-you" memo
from BBC Producer Patricia Houlihan, following Wilkie's
appearance on the Billy Cotton Show, an unused windscreen sticker for
Le Mans 1957 (when Ecurie Ecosse D Types finished First and Second),
etc. Good to Fine.

The Order of Service card for the Service of Thanksgiving for the Life of
"Lofty" England - Holy Trinity Church, Broadgate, Coventry. 14th September 1995.
Fine
|

A signed personal Christmas card from Rixon Bucknall.
The card shows a photo of his well-known XK 140-based tourer, RB1903.
Beneath the photo is the manuscript caption "We aim at maintaining the tradition…"
A printed outline spec of the car is pasted to the back of the card. Fine.
|
|
A broken run of Earls Court Motor Show programmes from the late 1940s and
1950s. Some foxing and sl RS as usual, but all page-markers are present
and all Jaguar and Daimler pages are fully legible.
Good to Very Good. To be sold individually.
|
|
Marles-Weller Steering Gear. Issued by the manufacturer, Adamant
Engineering Co. Ltd. Ref GB & Co (K 166).
An original handbook. Sl rust-stains from staples and signs of wear but complete. A must for the SS owner. Good.
|
|
S.S. I and II Lubrication Chart. Bears amendment sticker from C C Wakefield & Co
notifying the launch of the lighter version of Castrol X as the correct engine oil
for these cars in summer and winter. NB This chart is an
original SS Cars item, not an oil company item.
A fine original piece in its original envelope. Exceptional in this condition
|
|
"The Fiat-Swallow Saloon" A single-sheet flier from Swallow Coachbuilding.
Probably 1929 model year. Shows fine gravure image of the car and outline specs.
Price is £255. A very rare item from the earliest days of the company.
Some dust-stains at the edges (removable with care) and crease across lower right-hand corner -
o/w Very Good.

The XJ220 was originally intended to be powered by Jaguar's mighty 6 litre
V12 engine. However, production engineering realities dictated that it was launched with the
TWR 3.5 litre V6 engine and the prototype (now in the JDHT Collection) was the only car
fitted with the V12 engine. A tiny number of sales brochures for the V12-engined car were produced
and an even smaller number reached the general public making this one of the rarest post-war Jaguar brochures.
This very rare item is in Fine condition and is offered with an equally fine copy of the standard brochure

"The Jaguar Legend" Print No 84 of a limited edition of 150 by Lionel
Rowse. Produced in 1982. Signed by Sir William Lyons and Duncan Hamilton.
Sir William was notoriously reluctant to autograph such items.
To the best of my knowledge, this was the only series of prints he ever signed and
I understand that he did not sign the full print run - and note
the short run of only 150 copies, compared with today's "limited"
editions of 750 and more. A very scarce D Type item from an acknowledged motoring
artist and bearing two of the key Jaguar signatures.
Fine condition and in original mailing tube.

|
"Automapic" sliding map folder bearing Jaguar and Daimler logos. A most unusual item.
There is a key map to Great Britain and 12 larger-scale maps covering a different area.
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 races of glue indicate that this might have been the case for the
front too. An unusual item in Very Good condition
|
|
A Jaguar Drivers Club badge. Rear is blank. Has seen service on the front of a
car but should clean up. Fair.
|
|
An excellent specimen of a Factory presentation desk piece from the 1950s.
The bronze-cast Jaguar rests on a twin-post base. The unusually wide mouth is a crown-cork
bottle-opener and a cork-screw fits into the stomach.
The walnut veneer base was made by Jaguar apprentices from the same veneer
used for the Mark VII, VIII and IX series of saloons. This item is in fine condition.
It comes with the cork-screw, which is usually missing, and a selection of Jaguar cocktail sticks
|
|
A Swallow "bullet" side-light. Dechromed.
Front lenses in good condition, rear lense cracked. Very Good. Rare
|
|
A Lucas "Owl's Head" rear light cluster as fitted to SS 100, etc. The central
bolt is incorrect, but the chrome is in excellent condition as are the lenses.
Internally complete, this item is either NOS, or was rechromed some time ago. Fine
|
|
Jaguar Owners Club car badge. This badge of the American club is from the
1950s/1960s. Stone-chip to base of shield, o/w in Very Good condition. Scarce from this era.
|
|
A very varied selection of mainly SS Cars and Swallow hardware. Note the
Maurdon Motors replica SS Car Club badge and the Swallow Register badge;
the different SS Cars licence-holders and the rare Swallow licence holder.
To be sold as a number of consecutive lots.
|
|
A selection of SS Cars radiator badges. Some incomplete; some replicas;
some badly re-chromed. Condition is Fair to Very Good. To be sold as two lots
