1954 JAGUAR MkVII convertible by GHIA-Aigle Modèle unique entre les mêmes mains depuis 1977 One-off example owned since 1977 by famous marque historian Châssis n° 721420-DN Moteur n° W4853-8 Carte grise française / French title Via Regina Cernobbio 21 mai 2015. Madame et Monsieur X se promènent paisiblement le long du rivage du lac de Côme après un dîner ayant plus que satisfait leur palais d’hédonistes suivi du traditionnel Cognac. Ils sont arrivés à l’hôtel de la Villa d’Este par motoscafo qui est encore le meilleur moyen de joindre les deux rives. La nuit offre une splendide perspective de l’hôtel une magnifique villa renaissance au style baroque connue à travers le monde. Connue de tous oui mais les élus à pouvoir accéder au concours d’élégance qui s’y tient sont eux beaucoup moins nombreux. Triés sur le volet c’est à leur monture qu’ils doivent leur présence en ces jardins mythiques. Elle est la prérogative du fin du fin de la production automobile mondiale des modèles les plus en vue à l’époque et aux lignes et proportions les plus marquantes. Le couple rejoint des amis pour un gelato et une carapigna tandis que déjà les rayons lunaires chatoient des courbes signées par les plus grands couturiers de la chose automobile: Allemano Antem Ghia Touring Pinin Farina Freestone&Webb ou encore Gangloff. Une fois à l’intérieur le débat s’engage et s’oriente vite vers la Jaguar de nos deux collectionneurs. Une Jaguar unique à la Villa d’Este ? Pourrait-il s’agir d’une des deux Ghia Supersonic? De la Type C de Clemente Biondetti? De la XK120 carrossée par le belge Oblin? Ce que nous avons là Messieurs-Dames est ma Jaguar MkVII cabriolet carrossée par GHIA-Aigle de 1954”. Des regards stupéfiés se croisent de nombreux sourcils se froncent et les cognoscenti les plus avisés se tournent vers ceux restés incrédules : « Aigle le carrossier s’appelle GHIA-Aigle » Monsieur et Madame sont particulièrement fiers de pouvoir montrer leur Jaguar inconnue de la plupart des invités. C’est pour eux un grand moment qui restera à jamais un de leurs plus beaux souvenirs. Un verre de champagne à la main Monsieur s’assoit à quelques mètres de la splendide fontaine de la Rometta afin de répondre aux journalistes et de révéler son histoire. “GHIA-Aigle fut créée en 1949 par le Docteur Filippi dans la ville d’Aigle en Suisse. Initialement l’entreprise s’appelait tout simplement Aigle et fabriquait des meubles des accessoires et avait une petite activité de carrosserie attenante. Le docteur Filippi avait conclu un accord plus verbal qu’autre chose avec les dirigeants de GHIA à Turin. Le véritable tour de force de cette petite firme fut de s’assurer la collaboration de Michelotti de 1949 à 1957. Pietro Frua prendra la suite jusqu’en 1960. Un des premiers dessins de Michelotti fut un très gracile coupé 2 portes sur base de MkVII en 1952 mon cabriolet suivi en 1954. Les lignes originelles de la MkVII ont complètement disparues seuls restent les pare-chocs avant et arrière ainsi que l’entourage de la plaque d’immatriculation arrière. C’est une voiture de près de 5 mètres de long mais le génie de Michelotti est évident les dimensions bien qu’imposantes sont parfaitement maitrisées. La barrette de chrome latérale se terminant en forme de faux allège l’ensemble faisant paraître la ceinture de caisse plus basse qu’elle ne l’est. Les ailes avant viennent se prolonger par-delà les phares comme les Cadillac ou Plymouth contemporaines tandis que le traitement de la partie arrière est là aussi très américain. Le capot plongeant sous la ceinture de caisse la prise d’air sur le capot ou encore la calandre en nez de requin sont quant à eux dans le plus pur style transalpin. Cette MkVII est révélatrice d’une époque où le design américain étant à l’avant-garde de nombreux designers européens s’inspirant de leurs homologues nord-américains certains comme le français Raymond Loewy ou l’italien Giovanni Savonuzzi franchiront même l’Atlantique pour s’établir sur place. Ma voiture fut donc livrée à son premier propriétaire en 1954. C’était un chirurgien Suisse du nom de Jean Rein qui refusa de l’exposer sur le stand de GHIA Aigle au salon de Genève de 1955 ne désirant pas partager son oeuvre. Celui-ci parcouru 98 000 kilomètres à son bord et renseigna scrupuleusement ses voyages dans deux petits calepins fascinants à parcourir. Il se rendit fréquemment sur la côte d’Azur et chaque vidange était consignée. » C’est en 1977 que son propriétaire actuel s’en porta acquéreur. Un collectionneur de Jaguar et historien important de la marque celui-ci eu beaucoup de plaisir à l’utiliser. Nous en voulons pour preuve le fait qu’il organisa un rallye pour d’autres propriétaires de la marque jusqu’à Saint-Petersbourg rallye qui fut accompli avec sa fi dèle MkVII. Il l’emmènera même jusqu’au cercle polaire certainement la seule ou une des seules Jaguar à s’y être rendu !! Le Concorde la Hudson Italia les Chrysler Ghia Aston Zagato les exemples de collaborations internationales réussies ne manquent pas bien au contraire. La MkVII cabriolet par GHIA-Aigle en est la parfaite illustration et a pour mérite ce voile qui pendant les 37 dernières années l’a tenu loin des yeux des collectionneurs internationaux. Elle sera le parfait ticket d’entrée aux plus prestigieux événements de ce fabuleux univers de la collection automobile. Monsieur et Madame X c’est vous ! Via Regina Cernobbio May 21st 2015. Mr and Mrs Yourself are leisurely strolling along the shores of Lake Como after a satisfying dinner and their usual cognac nightcap. Having arrived by motoscafo from the other side of the lake earlier in the day night time offers a different but no less stunning perspective of the Renaissance Villa in which they are housed. They meet up with other friends for a gelato and a carapigna while a stone’s throw away the moon’s rays beam down on some of the world’s most gorgeous and coveted sculptures on wheels. The hot topic is about Mr Yourself’s Jaguar. A Jaguar special at Villa d’Este could it be a Ghia Supersonic? No I’m afraid it’s something even rarer! A game of trivia is being played on the guest as Mrs Yourself turns down guess after guess: the Biondetti C-type? No… The XK120 bodied by Oblin? No… “What we have here then… ladies and gentlemen is my 1954 Ghia-Aigle Jaguar MkVII convertible. Startled looks are exchanged nonplussed as they are the more knowledgeable of the guests turn to their friends and offer the missing piece of information that few have caught . “Aigle Ghia-Aigle is the name of the coachbuilder”. The Yourselves are proud to exhibit a car that few know of and fewer still have seen. It’s a rare privilege for all those present at the Villa d’Este and its owners will long remember this instant as one of their “lifetime milestones”. A glass of champagne in the hand Mr Yourself sits down by the Rometta fountain to fi eld a few questions from the press and shed some light on his car’s history. “Ghia-Aigle was created in 1949 by Dr Filippi in the town of Aigle Switzerland. Its fi rst name was simply Aigle and it manufactured furniture accessories for caravans and had a small body bodyshop as a side-activity. Dottore Filippi had struck a verbal deal with Ghia of Turin to use their name although funnily enough no written agreement was ever signed! This small Swiss bodywork ‘s tour de force was in getting Giovanni Michelotti onboard from 1949 to 1957 who was then followed by Pietro Frua until 1960. One of Michelotti’s fi rst designs was a 2 door coupé on a Mk 7 châssis in 1952 and my convertible followed in 1954. My car was delivered in 1954 to its fi rst owner a Swiss surgeon who refused to display it on Ghia-Aigle’s stand at the 1955 Geneva Motor Show! Very little remains of the Mk7’s initial shape apart from the front and rear bumpers and the rear license plate cluster. Michelotti’s mastery of the craft
