[collectibles] Advice needed re. Value of old Jaguar Calandars?

Collectibles
1

We have 4 Jaguar Calandars 1986, 1987, 1989 and 1990

Two of them have Dark Green Front covers with Gold Logo and
writing, the other two an embossed off-white cover with silver logo
and writing.

Inside each page covers 2 months, and shows a very large print of
various Jaguar models (Each calendar has 6 pictures in total)

They must have come from a Reigate Jaguar garage as they have the
garage name and address printed at the bottom on one of the sheets
inside.

The condition of the Pictures is immaculate, but the outside covers
do have a few creases etc (nothing much though)

As these are now over 12 years+ Old we’d appreciate your comments
as to their value and collectability.

Many thanks–

I forgot to mention the size of these 4 Jaguar Calanders:

They are approx 21 inches square and the car pictures inside are 20
inches by 15 inches so are quite large and detailed.

Thank’s for any advice you can offer re their worth.–

Our 1969 E-Type FHC was featured in the Jaguar 2000 Calendar, The 2000 Exotic
Sports Car Calendar, and then again in the 2003 British Car Calendar. The
Photographer who works with these Calendars is Mr. Dan Lyons in New York. He
may be a very good source for an estimate, he might even have an interest in
purchasing, don’t know, but I found him very good to work with on Calendars.

Info on him is as follows:

The early calendars from 1984 have brilliant airbrush illustrations from
John Beecham and have been fetching quite reasonable prices up until now
depending on condition, especially the first one. Later ones from the 90s
probably not more than 10 -20 pounds or so in perfect condition in their
cardboard mailers, even the 1993 XJ220 one you would expect to be rare
isn’t - there are boxfuls of them in storage still!

However, that isn’t much help as a guide when you can (as of this
November) now buy the perfect originals direct from the JDHT for:

1984: 15.00
1986 - 1996: 10:00
1997-1999: 5.00
200-2001: 2.50

(UK pounds) in their literature sale!

Of more value is the presentation leather bound book of postcard sized
John Beecham illustrations, issued as a limited edition some time back.
There are some examples here from my own copy:

Thank’s Tony.

Well, they don’t seem like they are worth much really.
More of Sentimental value than commercial value.

Never mind, looks like We’ll have to rely on the Lottery coming up
instead :)–

Hi. I have a lovely copy of the Jaguar Calendar Collection of John Beecham (394/2000) still in its original green Jaguar Box and its tissue paper. I’m up for selling it if there is an enthusiast out there that wants to own this.
