This may be a bit off-Jaguar in topic, but I figure some Jaguar enthusiasts may have the same interests that I do in other British car companies of the “golden age”. In my continuing house cleaning efforts, I am now offering for sale a variety of books on a spectrum of British cars. A lot of different titles, but only one copy of each book. Most I bought brand-new and are still in excellent condition with original dust jackets. Some titles are very hard to find nowadays.


The car marques that my library covers are:
AC
Allard
Alvis
Armstrong Siddeley
Aston Martin / Lagonda
Austin Healy
Bentley
Bristol
Caterham
Daimler
Ford
Ginetta
HRG
Lotus
MG
Mini
Morgan
Riley / Wolseley
Rolls Royce
Rover
Sunbeam
Triumph
TVR
Westfield


If you have an interest in any of the above marques, or even a specific title that you are looking for (I may have it on my shelves!), send me a PM or e-mail, and I will let you know what I have (it is too much to list each individual title at this point).

 

Updates to the master list;
delete Sunbeam - all the Tiger titles have been sold
correct Austin Healey - only Sprite/Midget titles on hand
add Talbot - Sunbeam/Lotus book re-discovered

 

Bump it. There have been very few responses. I guess not too many Jaguar enthusiasts are as bat-guano-crazy about the other fascinating British car marques as I have been. Why, I probably have at least 20 different titles just on Morgan cars, mostly in excellent condition. You want Armstrong Siddeley? I got Armstrong Siddeley (and much more). Remember - it's much cheaper (and sometimes a lot more fun) to buy the book rather than the car!

 

Bump - just in case some ecumenical British car enthusiasts have recently joined the fray.

 

Bumperino...

 

Another bump by Dr. Sisyphus...

Surely there must be some interest out there in the diversity of the British sports car universe? Interested in a specific title? I may have it. I also pretty much have every E-Type book published more than three years ago. Interested in a specific marque? I probably have you covered. PM/e-mail me....

 

Update - another (obscure) marque added to my master list of books-that-no-one-seems-interested-in: HWM

HWM were a surprisingly successful, very small producer of sports racing cars, some of which were Jaguar powered.

The book is a giant format, mint condition, 412-page tour-de-force titled:
"A Passion for Speed - the life and times of George Abecassis" by David Abecassis.
The book is a bit of a collector's piece, and if you google it, you will find that it is generally unavailable except at nose-bleed prices. My copy ($92 which includes insured shipping in the US) will not require the use of a handkerchief.

I am told that I have the largest collection of British car books in Aiken, SC....Probably because it is the only collection of British car books in Aiken, SC.

 

Another wearisome bump...

 

Could you PM me with a list of what you have for Sunbeam and Aston Martin?

Thanks

 

Charlie,
I have PM'd you a list of the four Sunbeam (Lotus) and seven Aston Martin items that I have available.
Mike

 

Update - all my Aston Martin DB7 titles have sold, still have a couple of general AM books. And still many other British marque books. Like Morgans...lots and lots of Morgans...please, anyone?
