Original early Jaguar “Leaping Cat” bonnet mascot manufactured by Wilmot Breeden, bearing the correct casting reference 7/10091/1 WBB. This is a genuine period Jaguar component, supplied to Jaguar Cars during the post-war era and used on early saloon models.
The mascot is chrome plated and mounted to a later cast iron display base, allowing it to be presented as a desk, shelf or display piece without further modification. The proportions, casting quality and Wilmot Breeden mark confirm this as an authentic example rather than a decorative reproduction.
A solid and collectible piece of British automobilia, suitable for Jaguar enthusiasts, restorers, or collectors of original marque-related objects.
