Enjoy your meal, gentlemen

One of the nice things of Automobilia is that the term defines all kinds of stuff that have only the thinnest connection with cars. Nevertheless these things can be very interesting for collectors. Take for instance this menu that was used for the Award Ceremony Luncheon held at the RAC Club, for the trophy presentation by Roland E. Dangerfield to William Lyons celebrating his Jaguar's Le Mans win in 1953. The Jag was driven by Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton, who both signed the menu. The other team members signed too, but we cannot make out their names. Can you? Tell us! The presentation menu will be offered by Bonhams on March 5th during their auction of Collectors' Motor Cars and Automobilia at Oxford
