The Original

By 1957 Jaguar had built sixty-eight D type racing cars as part of its international sportscar racing program. Following withdrawal from racing, twenty-five completed D types were left unsold. To make use of these cars, Jaguar Cars Ltd. converted them into road going sportscars. The Jaguar XKSS.

In the early 1960's, the car has been repaintedfrom its original cream color to its present day green. The interior was retrimmed from red to black leather. In 1957 actor, Steve McQueen added the XKSS to his vast Collection.

Today the car resides at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California.
