The first Jaguar XKSS to be built in almost 60 years recently made its world debut at the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles. The XKSS, finished in Sherwood Green paint, was created by the Jaguar Classic engineering team ahead of the production of nine cars for delivery to customers across the globe in 2017.
The XKSS was originally made by Jaguar as a road-going conversion of the Le Mans-winning D-type, which was built from 1954-1956. In 1957, nine cars earmarked for export to North America were lost in a fire at Jaguar’s Browns Lane factory in the British Midlands; meaning just 16 examples of XKSS were built.
