Vintage Official Jaguar Leaper Mascot – Chrome Bonnet Ornament on Hardwood Plinth (c.1960s–1980s)

An authentic vintage Jaguar “Leaper” mascot, produced in the style of the factory-approved bonnet ornaments used across Jaguar saloons and sports cars in the mid-20th century. Cast in metal with a chrome-plated finish, this example carries the correct underside casting stamp associated with official Jaguar pieces from the period, later supplied by dealerships and clubs as a desk or display ornament.

Mounted on a shaped hardwood plinth, the mascot presents well and displays the bold, streamlined form that has become synonymous with Jaguar’s design identity. A collectible piece of British motoring history, ideal for enthusiasts of the marque, owners of classic Jaguars, or as a decorative addition to an office or study.
