A bronze desk-top sculpture of an SS100 by Chris Davis, an automotive sculptor with an international reputation, who worked in America for several years as well as here in England.
Chris creates his sculptures using the “lost wax” process, which enables the fine detailing so evident in this piece. A nice touch is that the cast base under the car depicts an SS100 radiator grille. This piece is no 100 in a limited edition of 100. 12 x 8 x 5 high. Mint and superb.
An excellent “Milano” briefcase from the limited edition offered by Jaguar Deutschland in the 1990s.
It’s not clear how many were made but this is no 010, the three digits implying 100 made. They were created by Italian craftsmen who bonded no fewer than eight layers of walnut veneer together and the resultant block was formed into the two parts of the briefcase. The hand-crafted leather interior was then fitted, along with a carved hard-wood handle and 24 carat gold-plated metal fittings. Protected by its own cloth sleeve. Mint. Unused.
This profile of the XJ220 is a unique piece by craftsman Ray Winder, a sculptor who specialises in wood-based art.
In December 2020, he was elected President of the Roya Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers. Ray was fascinated by the beautiful lines of the XJ220 and asked TWR if he could access a car with a view to carving a model. TWR were hugely helpful and gave Ray access to two cars at Bloxham for him to measure and photograph, with a video as back-up. The results were a three-dimensional model, which was bought by TWR, and the high-relief profile on offer here. Ray started with a single block of walnut. He then cut the wheels out, turned them on a lathe and mounted them so the grain follows through. He then hand-polished the whole carving several times to bring out the beautiful grain in the wood. This superb combination of artistry and craftsmanship is 30 inches long! Fine. Unique.

Additional signatures include Sir John Egan, Geoff Lawson and Stuart himself. 33 x 27 overall. Mounted framed and glazed. An enlargement of the signatures is also shown. If you would like one larger still, just mail me. Fine. Unique.
Another excellent entry from Stuart Spencer’s brushes.
Over the years, Stuart has produced some fine examples of that specialised branch of motoring art – the cut-away drawing. This original cutaway of the production version of the XJ220 is one of his best. He had the free run of Bloxham for all his preliminary work, as well as some CAD/CAM drawings. It was that privileged access which ensured the very high degree of accuracy that is one of Stuart’s hallmarks. 40 x 29 overall. Mounted framed and glazed. Fine. Unique.

Leather-covered with excellent tight stitching on the rim and the centre-piece. Unused and never fitted to a car. Fine.

XJ220 Parts Manual.
1993. 10 x 12. Loose-leaf 4-ring binder with the standard “metallic” finish under a laminate coating. The “Jaguar XJ220” logo is at top left.

JaguarSport XJR-15 Intercontinental Challenge navy blue paddock coat.
Made by Victoria Mockett of Why Not Limited, who were TWR/Jaguar’s clothing supplier for the 1989 and 1990 WSCC seasons.
I understand that these high-grade coats were produced exclusively for the Intercontinental Challenge competition and available only to car owners, drivers and the support teams. They were never available to the public and are very seldom seen on the open market. Size “M”. Only lightly-worn. Very rare. Fine.
The rare and original E-type key fob from the late 1960s.
On page 186 of his book “Vintage Jaguar Keyrings 1955-1980” (see Lot 201), Bud Marston says that these fobs were produced in Birmingham in the early 1970s for cars bound for the American market. I rarely disagree with Bud on key fobs as his book truly is the bible. However, my first Series 2 E-type, which I bought in 1972, came with one of these fobs and as I was deep into Jaguar automobilia collecting in those days, I asked the seller and he confirmed he had bought the fob not long after he took delivery of the car in 1969. Therefore, if you own a Series 2 or Series 3 E-type, this is the right one for you! Seldom seen. Fine.
Menu card for the dinner held at Browns Lane on 17 July 1953 to celebrate the Rolt/Hamilton Le Mans victory.
Inside there is a very impressive set of signatures including, Sir William, Rolt, Hamilton, Lofty England, Bill Haynes, Bob Knight, Harry Westlake (the gas flow guru) and Norman Dewis. Sets of key Jaguar signatures linked to key Jaguar milestones like this, very rarely come on the market as they usually change hands privately. NB. The 1953 Le Mans programme is at Lot 1110 below. VG nr Fine.
Roller blotter presentation piece from the Factory in the 1950s.

There are copies out there so – caveat emptor! Produced by the Lejeune company in England and bearing the company’s distinctive touch mark on the underside of the base. Fresh and unmarked and would appear never to have been mounted on a car. Fine nr Mint and seldom seen thus.
