Original letter and invoice to a Californian company who asked for literature . It states that Jaguar were unable to supply catalogues for the 1930-1947 period due to much material being destroyed by 'enemy-action'.
However, since there was no recorded enemy damage to Jaguar's stores at Coventry, it's more likely that they had simply destroyed their stocks of brochures and catalogues for reasons unknown! |
