This website is merely a different method of delivering the catalogue and entering bids - real-time electronic bidding is not possible. Bidding. “What you bid is what you pay”. If your bid succeeds, it will succeed at the value you enter on the bidding form. With the single exception of Lot E/1, there is no connection between the winning bid and any others that are made.

The upset price for JACPA is £10; i.e. no bid below £10 will be accepted. Reserves will be as agreed between the vendor and JACPA. Not all lots will carry a reserve. Estimates are our opinion of the price range within which the lot will sell. Estimates are not predictions of selling prices. There is no fixed linkage between reserves and estimates. Bids below estimate. We welcome such bids; we respect your opinion. We only ask that you signify a below-estimate bid by placing brackets around your bid as we might need to contact the vendor. Commission and VAT on Commission. Commission for both vendors and buyers is 20% of the hammer price. VAT is payable on the commission where appropriate at the prevailing UK rate. Payment. We accept payment by sterling cheque drawn on a UK branch of a UK bank; by bankers’ draft; by electronic money transfer and by PayPal. We do not accept payment by credit or debit card.

JAGUAR AUTOMOBILIA COLLECTOR 2 2017 DISTANT AUCTION WELCOME To the finest selection of Jaguar Automobilia to come to the market anywhere in the world for nearly two years. (Since my last auction in fact!) It’s been a longer wait than usual this time! However, ill-health, mega IT problems and other distractions are finally dealt with. I’m delighted that the range, variety and quality of the entries this year enables me once more to stake my claim to running the best auction for Jaguar automobilia anywhere in the world today. I start with a very special “Section A”. Those of you who are on my mailing list will know that I was delighted (and flattered!) to be asked by John Mayston-Taylor to help disperse his personal collection of Jaguar automobilia. John will be well-known to many reading this as the owner of Lynx Motors for a very successful period from 1992 to 2009. John’s collection is huge and we have agreed to split it across two auctions. Section A therefore forms an excellent taster for the very high-grade offerings that will follow in Part 2 in my Autumn auction. These will include original items for D-types, C-types, Factory Lightweight E-types and racing E-Types – magical! My front cover features the “Jaguar Relationship Trophy”. Created by London silversmith and jeweller Theo Fennell using hall-marked sterling silver mounted on a fine hardwood base, this is a most impressive piece. It is on offer at £2000-2250. Competition items from the TWR era continue their steady rise now they have some “age” and they are well- covered here. Two blocks of Lots have been entered from Win Percy and the estate of Mark Freeman, a Kiwi mechanic with the 1990 IMSA team. Win has entered some fine and very rare race suits and no fewer than three TWR driver helmets come from Mark’s estate – Martin Brundle, Davy Jones and the Danish driver John Neilsen. Prices are in the region of £900-1000. Other competition entries include: a 1984 race suit from Martin Brundle. The very rare TWR brochure for the XJR-6 at £50-£75. The Jaguar Legend” by Lionel Rowse. Signed by Sir William Lyons and Duncan Hamilton. Sir William was notoriously reluctant to autograph such items and to the best of my knowledge, this was the only series of prints he ever signed. An edition limited to only 150 and on offer at £400-450. Jaguar’s competition history is also reflected in the very fine selection of 1:24 and 1:18 scale models on offer throughout the catalogue. Markers include SMTS, KR Replicas and AutoArt. The star model for me is the 1:43 scale SMTS model of the Ecurie Ecosse transporter that sold for £1,800,000 at Bonham’s sale of Dick Skipworth collection in 2013. This is estimated at £300-350. Also featured is a unique plaque engraved to W Lyons to commemorate the C-type winning the “First long distance car race at Goodwood – August 16, 1952” These plaques very seldom come on the market and the link to Sir William is strong – estimated at £600-700. Two outstanding pieces from the pre-war SS Cars days are the original door from the unique 1938 SS100 FHC. This was removed when the car was with David Barber for a full restoration - here at £500-600. A quite extraordinary coincidence sees the entry of Frederick Gordon Crosby’s original cartoon of the car, which he saw at the 1938 Motor Show. His caption stretches the word “Jag-You-Are” in the same way as the bonnet is stretched! On offer at £300-350. Other pre-war items include SS Cars brochures from 1935 to 1937. The cross-over years when the Jaguar range of cars was introduced. Also driver’s handbooks from 1934 to 1940. A fine decanter in the form of an SS100 radiator also comes forward. Not one of the well-known Rudspeed offerings but, in my opinion, just as good and here at £400-500. Other “Specials” include the very rare black Perspex double-sided showroom sign from the earl 1950s at £1000- 1200. Le Mans programmes for 1955 (the year of the crash) and 1956 – each at £100-150. An exceptional group of race posters from the 1950s ranging between £100 and £200. One reappearance is the gorgeous pair of 18 carat gold pens each with a beautiful Jaguar head on the caps set with diamonds for the eyes at £500-600. I hope you will agree that this is a pretty special selection – and there are over 700 further lots to choose from as well! GOOD LUCK! PS. Don’t forget that many Lots are illustrated in the Auction Previews on my website – www.jaguarautomobilia.com 2017 DISTANT AUCTION 3 JAGUAR AUTOMOBILIA COLLECTOR THE BIDDING PROCESS For those of you who are not familiar with the bidding process for distant auctions, I hope this step-by-step guide will be helpful.

  • Porsche Honors Hurley Haywood on 70Th Birthday
    newsroom Company May 4, 2018 Porsche Honors Hurley Haywood On 70th Birthday Porsche congratulates one of its most decorated ambassadors, Hurley Haywood, on a shared anniversary: The five-time Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner turns 70 today, just a month before the 70th birthday of the first Porsche sports car. Born in Chicago, Harris Hurley Haywood is the most accomplished American endurance racer of all time. With multiple overall victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring, Haywood cemented his winning reputation over four decades of competition. Endurance race victories came in both GT racing cars and Prototypes in a career that spanned from 1969 to 2012, with a brief hiatus for a tour of duty in Vietnam in 1970. His first overall endurance victory came at the 1973 Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, co-driving with Peter Gregg, then owner of Brumos Porsche. The pair followed with another victory just one month later at the 12 Hours of Sebring. Haywood would ultimately become vice president and co-owner of the Brumos Porsche dealership in Jacksonville, Florida. Haywood won Daytona and Le Mans in the same year Haywood won five times at Daytona, three times at Le Mans and twice at Sebring, while becoming the first driver to win the 24 Hours of Daytona and 24 Hours of Le Mans in the same year (1977). He earned five driver championships in his career: IMSA GT Champion (1971, ’72), SCCA Trans-Am Champion (’88), SuperCar Championship (‘91), and North American GT Endurance Champion (’94).

  • Jaguar Xj220
    13/11/2020 JAGUAR XJ220 JAGUAR WHO? XJ220 Jaguar is a staple name in the world of Brish car manufacturers. They've been around since the dawn of me, building brush sports cars, whilst their big saloons have been driven by everyone from East End Gangsters to policians over the years. But some good people have driven them too… Well, that's almost all true. Jaguar actually started as the Swallow (sniggers) sidecar company in 1922, before becoming the S.S. Car Company. In 1935, they built a sports saloon called the Jaguar, and following some less than posive connotaons with a German military unit, in 1945 the S.S. Car Company became Jaguar Cars. Famously headed by Sir. William Lyons, the brand became synonymous with luxury and speed, producing what are undoubtedly some of the coolest cars to ever exist. Wrien by: Si McNally I Photography by: Rick Noel 13/11/2020 JAGUAR XJ220 As a child in the early '90s, if you had even a passing interest in cars, it was guaranteed you had a poster of either a Ferrari F40, Porsche 959 or an XJ220 on the wall. If you were “into” cars, you had a couple. Me? I had all 3. And a problem, WHAT? apparently. The XJ220 is, without a doubt, the ulmate early '90s Brish supercar. It's big and brash, without being in your face, and is as happy cruising at 200mph (on a private road, officer) as it is cruising Mayfair, looking suave. But it wasn't always that way. In fact, the twin turbo V6 (which isn't taken directly from a Metro 6R4, as so many people think) and rear wheel drive that make the 220 so ludicrous, were never actually meant to be there.
