JAGUAR MK V SALOON After the war, the SS Swallow brand became Jaguar. In order to bring in foreign currency, the company had to expand beyond its borders, particularly in the USA. To do this, it had to modernize its range, offering models of a higher class than the pre-war models. A brand-new engine, with double overhead camshafts, was launched, the famous XK. It was to power a car of more modern design and larger dimensions. Unfortunately, the new bodywork was much more complicated to develop and manufacture. It was therefore decided to keep customers waiting by modernizing the existing model. Called MK V, its plastic was rejuvenated by smaller-diameter headlamps, partially encased in the front fenders, and the addition of "spats" on the rear wheels. The 2.5 l and 3.5 l 6-cylinder engines are retained unchanged. A major innovation, however, is the use of independent suspension on the front axle. Presented at the London Motor Show in October 1948, around 9,500 units, including convertibles, were produced until mid-1951. As a result, it served perfectly as a transitional model until its descendant, the MK VII (VI being Bentley's prerogative). The model presented here is a rare 2.5-litre version. Both bodywork and interior are virtually flawless. It has 17,500 km on the clock. It drives very well and perfectly represents the idea of luxury à l'anglaise.

Affiche du 31eme Grand-Prix de l’ACF, d’après Savignac, 1937 - Raymond SAVIGNAC (1907-2002) Signed and dated upper right: SAVIGNAC 37 Automobile Club de France 1937" stamp. Edition Alliance Graphique, imprimerie L.Danel, Paris. 158 x 117 cm. Wrapped in cloth. Superb condition despite a slight tear and traces of folding. Very rare poster, never seen for sale, museum piece. History of the ACF Grand Prix: Founded in 1895, the Automobile Club de France (ACF) decided to create the Grand Prix de France in 1906. In fact, this Grand Prix was the successor to the Gordon Bennett Cups held in Europe between 1900 and 1905, and already partly organized by the ACF. This first Grand-Prix de l'Automobile Club de France took place for the first time on a circuit of just over 100 kilometers, near Le Mans, on June 26 and 27, 1906. Invited to cover 1240 kilometers in two days, this first edition saw Ferenc Szisz crowned on a Renault AK after more than 12 hours of racing. For the 1936 and 1937 editions, the ACF decided to impose the Formula Sport, with a maximum displacement of 4.5 liters and prohibiting the use of a compressor. Here are the broad outlines of the rules imposed by the organizing committee for the XXXI ACF Grand Prix - Voitures de Sport: The GP de l'ACF will be run on July 4, 1937, on the Linas-Montlhéry road circuit, each lap of which measures 12 kilometers, 504 meters and 35 centimeters. -The GP de l'ACF will be run over a distance of approximately 500 kilometers, or 40 laps of the Linas-Montlhéry road circuit. - The winner will be awarded the sum of 100,000 francs (in cash, please!). Let's go to Montlhéry to the starting grid of the XXXIst ACF Grand-Prix: Bugatti, Talbot and Delahaye are all on the starting line at 2pm. The chequered flag waved and the cars took off with a bang. Sommer leads the race for the first 20 laps, before Louis Chiron overtakes him and guides the race to the finish. The old fox - an affectionate nickname given to Chiron for his racing intelligence - became the first driver in history to win the French Grand Prix three times! In the end, four Talbots finished in the top five places, making up a 100% Talbot podium; the 1937 ACF GP marked a triple victory for Talbot automobiles. As the ACF GP saw Sommer's Bugatti Type 57G win in 1936, the 1937 poster seems to honor the Molsheim thoroughbreds. Savignac depicts a stylized Bugatti, reduced to its basic components - the horseshoe grille, the Bugatti axle and the car's wheel - all in a formidable spirit of speed. The three letters "ACF" associated with the date of the event make the message very clear. All these elements make this poster a classic in the master's body of work, and in Art Deco posters in general. A celebrated 20th-century poster artist, Savignac's graphic works are now part of our common imagination. His style is effective and impactful, yet simple. Although Savignac's work was particularly influential in the second half of the 20th century - illustrating the exponential growth of advertising during the "Trente Glorieuses" - he was self-taught from the 1920s onwards, before meeting the Art-deco poster master Cassandre in 1933. From then on, the young Savignac's work was inspired by the Cassandre style. Also assisted by illustrator Charles Loupot, the artist joined Alliance graphique in 1935. He continued to assert his own style, becoming a master of the poster as well, by asserting his signature - by now recognizable to all - combined with an ever-delicate sense of humor. The artist signs a brilliant poster from the beginning of his career, before his talent was yet recognized by all, only his peers having - at that time - already given him the thumbs-up. A work that fits perfectly with Savignac's own definition of the poster: "popular and aristocratic".

Harley Davidson Dyna Street, 2014 The Harley-Davidson Dyna series is a range of legendary motorcycles that has left an indelible mark on the world of American motorcycling. Known for its iconic V-twin engines, innovative suspension systems and distinctive design, the Dyna series has attracted an enthusiastic following since its inception. The Harley-Davidson Dyna was introduced in 1991. It stands out as a revolutionary model in the Harley-Davidson range. The model was created to bridge the gap between the traditional "softail" models with the "big twin" and the more performance-oriented "FXR" series. Harley-Davidson sought to combine the best of both worlds, offering a motorcycle with the comfort and style of a softail and the handling and performance of an FXR. The first model in the Dyna series was the Harley-Davidson Dyna Glide. This bike was distinguished by its innovative "Dyna" frame, equipped with a rubber-mounted engine and a unique suspension system. This configuration considerably reduces vibrations, making for a smoother, more comfortable ride. The Dyna frame also enabled greater maneuverability, setting it apart from other Harley-Davidson models. Over the years, the Dyna series evolved and expanded into several models, each with its own unique characteristics. Some of the most emblematic models in the series are the Low Rider, Wide Glide, Super Glide and Street Bob. These models appealed to a wide range of riders, offering different styles and performance options, while retaining the basic attributes of the Dyna model. The "Twin Cam" engine, introduced in 1999, represented a significant technological advance. It brought improved power and reliability to the Dyna range, further enhancing riding pleasure. Later, in 2012, Harley-Davidson introduced the "Twin Cam 103" engine, which further increased displacement and power. A striking feature of the Dyna series was the use of an exposed rear shock absorber, in stark contrast to the concealed shock absorbers of the Softail models. This design choice not only contributed to the rugged appearance of Dyna motorcycles, but also enabled better suspension tuning. As a result, the Dyna has become a favorite with riders looking for a responsive, dynamic ride. In 2018, Harley-Davidson made the decision to discontinue the Dyna series as part of a wider restructuring of its product range. While the legacy of the Dyna remains in the hearts of riders and enthusiasts, its discontinuation marked the end of an era. While official production of the Dyna series has come to an end, the memory of these bikes lives on in the hearts of riders, collectors and competing manufacturers. The model on offer is from 2014. It was imported from the USA by its current owner. It has only 2,600 km on the odometer! In mint condition, it is undeniably emblematic and presents, for discerning enthusiasts, the irresistible appeal of desire. An air of modern "easy rider" and "cool attitude".

CHRYSLER LE BARON CABRIOLET V6 Still based on the J-Body platform, Chrysler decided to completely renew the lines of its models for 1987. They adopted slimmer, slightly rounded shapes, with headlamps concealed by shutters. Powertrains remain the same: 4-cylinder 2.2-liter, then 2.5-liter, naturally-aspirated (not for Europe), turbocharged with or without intercooler. They are equipped with 4 or 5-speed manual gearboxes or 3-speed automatics. Available as 4-seater coupes or convertibles, they are part of Chrysler's offensive to return to Europe, with the Voyager, and other lesser-known models such as the 3-door ES and 5-door GTS. 1990 saw a complete overhaul of the dashboard, and above all the adoption of a 3-liter V6 engine from Mitsubishi. The automatic version received a new 4-speed gearbox. For 1993, the front end loses its shuttered headlamps in favor of slimmer, visible headlamps. Both models bowed out in 1995 after more than 400,000 units produced. An enviable score for "niche" models. The model shown here was launched in September 1993. It comes in a rare turquoise metallic livery and has 163,500 km on the clock. It is in good general condition.

It is in good overall condition and represents a wonderful opportunity to drive with your head to the wind at a modest price.
