Major H. O. D. Segrave Golden Arrow and Miss England. A ribbon-tied programme, menu and guest list for the luncheon given by Sir Charles Wakefield on 11 March 1929 in honour of Major Segrave and to celebrate his World Land Speed and Motor Boat Championship. A 16pp booklet with the usually missing Wakefield Trophy overview and rules single-sided sheet. Condition is fair, but the cover edge has paper loss, and some staining. Also, a programme for the Roots Ltd exhibition of the Golden Arrow and Miss England at Devonshire House, with a double-page colour depiction by Bryan de Grineau of the car and a single-page picture of Miss England. 7pp and decorated cream cover. Together with a similar but rare hardbound promotion album titled 'Progress' with detailed text, well-defined images, colour decoration and photographs. The leather spine a little damaged, and corners bumped, otherwise a delight. Also, a folded brochure outlining John Cobb's 403mph Railton and a 1938 promotion called Speed Kings with Euston and Cobb imaged. (5)
