The Immediate North African Military Cross group of six medals, awarded to Lieutenant Bruce Robertson Hobbs, 9th King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, Queen's Own Yorkshire Dragoons, a Grand National winning jockey and later respected racehorse trainer: Military Cross (1943), 1939-45, Africa, with 8th Army Clasp, Italy stars; Defence and War medals, brooch mounted. Very fine. (6) Military Cross, London Gazette, 19 August, 1943. "On 4th May 43 at Argoub El Megas this officer crawled to the top of a hill occupied on the reverse side by the enemy in order to direct Mortar Fire and observe the tanks and army. He had to go so close to the enemy that it was not safe for him to speak on telephone. He therefore climbed up and down all day to pass messages over his wireless at the bottom of the hill. Through his efforts and skill, effective fire was brought to bear on the party of enemy tanks which could not be seen from any other position. On 5th May 43 this Officer again carried out O.P. work in the same area and under the same conditions throughout the whole day. He again did invaluable work. On May 11th 43 a Sqn of our tanks was operating as a flank guard. The carrier Troop under the Comd of Lt. Hobbs was put under their command. Frequently under heavy automatic fire from the enemy tanks and M.G.'s, this Officer carried out recces, ahead of, and to the flank of our tanks, and again acted in the role of O.P. It was through his initiative and determination and complete disregard of his personal safety that our tanks were able to successfully engage those of the enemy." Bruce Robertson Hobbs (1920-2005), who was born on Long Island, New York, was the youngest, at just 17, and tallest jockey to win the Grand National, in 1938, on Battleship. He was the first jockey to win three Grand Nationals in one year, being successful in the Welsh and in Long Island's Cedarhurst version. He broke his back in a fall later the same year. Sold with copy of recommendation and copy of relevant pages from "No Secret so Close", 1984, by Tim Fitzgeorge-Parker; also obituary from The Independent

- Supplied new via Henlys of London to Alexander Godfried Hoffman Esq of Caterham - Entered for the all-Jaguar race held as part of the West Essex Car Club's Boreham meeting in May 1951, other competitors that day included Reg Parnell (Maserati 4CLT), Dennis Poore (Alfa Romeo 8C 35), Sydney Allard (Allard J2) and Tony Rolt (ERA Delage). - Owned by Dr Matthews of Littlehampton for thirty years and extensively restored from the 'chassis up' during the mid-1980s. - Uprated with a 3.8-litre XK DOHC engine, 'Monza' fuel filler and competition exhaust - Part of a significant private collection Further Info: The 409th right-hand drive XK120 Roadster to roll off the Browns Lane production line, chassis 660409 was completed in December 1950. Road registered as 'LXO 108' some two months later, it was supplied new to Alexander Godfried Hoffman Esq of Caterham, Surrey by Henlys of London. Evidently a keen motorist, Mr Hoffman entered chassis 660409 for the all Jaguar race held as part of the West Essex Car Club's Boreham meeting during May 1951. There are several evocative photos on file taken by Guy Griffiths which show the two-seater in the heat of battle, while other competitors that day included Reg Parnell (Maserati 4CLT), Dennis Poore (Alfa Romeo 8C 35), Sydney Allard (Allard J2) and Tony Rolt (ERA Delage). It is unknown whether the XK120's period competition history extended beyond Boreham but by November 1955 it belonged to car dealer and racing driver Anthony Crook (better known for his involvement with Bristol Cars). Other keepers recorded on the Jaguar's original buff logbook include: Stuart Gerald Young of Putney, Jack Bond of Vintage Autos, J. Lawrence of Cheadle Hulme and N.A. Maloney of Grove Motors. Reportedly purchased by Dr Matthews of Littlehampton from a South Croydon-based solicitor during the late 1970s, chassis 660409 was to remain in his care for over three decades. Accompanying invoices bear testament to the extensive 'chassis up' restoration that the Jaguar underwent from 1983 to 1987. Comparatively little used since its refurbishment was completed, the XK120 features such sporting niceties as a larger 3.8 litre XK DOHC engine, large diameter quick release alloy filler assembly, competition twin exhaust system and wire wheels. Acquired by Kevin Wooding of Hurst Park Motors for his own use before entering the current ownership, the Jaguar has formed part of a significant private collection over the past five years. Starting readily upon inspection and able to boast genuine period competition history, this handsome Jaguar XK120 Roadster is offered for sale with Heritage Certificate, copyright Guy Griffiths photos and history file.
