Jaguar XKSS

I photographed this car on a trailer at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1993, presumably headed  for the Jaguar Car Club's display area.
It's a 1957 Jaguar XKSS, a car that was produced by converting 16 unsold D-Type Jaguars into road cars - it would have been 25, but 9 cars were destroyed in a fire at the Browns Lane plant before they were completed. In 2016 Jaguar announced a new production run of 9 cars to replace the ones destroyed in the fire.

On 25 June 2014 I showed a photograph of a (replica?) Jaguar XKSS that I had taken at Silverstone in 1995.
