Paul Skilleter’s superb biography of Norman. The book is a balanced blend of inter-related stories – Norman’s life and career, the development of a world-beating range of cars, a different angle to the story of Jaguar Cars and, above all, of the team of people Norman worked with at the Jaguar. This unique career was crowned when Norman was appointed an OBE in 2015. This is the rare leather-bound collector’s edition in a cloth-bound slipcase. Signed by Norman and Paul. Mint book in Fine slipcase.

1993. A former French paratrooper, Roland was a luminary of the French Jaguar scheme in the 80s and 90s. His particular speciality was Jaguars that had been modified or adapted by others – for better or for worse! His own collection was unique and he ranged far and wide in his research for this book. It is made particularly accessible by being bi-lingual in English and French, though his translator was clearly not a native English-speaker. Unique, rare and fascinating. Fine.

Dalton Watson. 2018. A unique record of a fascinating aspect of the Jaguar automobilia hobby. Bud’s approach is beautifully summarised by the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote that he puts right up front “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” This book is a superb testament to Bud’s success in following Emerson’s advice! Fine in slipcase.
