General Information: One of the rare Daum cars,
the JaguarMKII was designed in the larger 1:12 scale, and produced
only in a limited edition of 250 pieces. As one of the later Daum cars
produced, the MKII was shipped in Daum's shoebox style box. It came
with a certificate of Authenticity that was also numbered to match
the car. This car was also designed by Xavier Froissart. I have now
verified the actual edition size of the Jaguar MKII, with some
help from people in high places! Only 93 Jaguar MKII's were actually
produced and sold by Daum.
I am very pleased to have S/N 1/250 in my collection. This car is
not only signed "Daum France", but also signed by the designer
as "X. Froissart", and is further annotated as the first
Artist's Example by the designation "1 EA". I have added
additional pictures below showing Xavier Froissart's signature and
the EA designation. For further information about EA cars,
see my Daum Automobiles page. This car also
has a one-of-a-kind metal nameplate. It is identical to standard production
nameplates, except that it is engraved with the information rather
than being silkscreened in black ink. See picture below. Where it appears
the lettering is white is where the engraving is highlighted by the
flash of the camera.
