1966 Jaguar XKSS Replica

I photographed this car at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting in August 2001.
I've seen a photograph of the car that says it is one of the early Lynx replicas, but I can find no other information to verify this. The DVLA records say that it is a 1966 car, first registered (presumably in its converted form) in 1997, with a 3,781cc engine. The original XKSS cars were produced in 1957 when Jaguar converted 25 unsold D-Types into road cars, although 9 of these cars were destroyed in a fire at the Browns Lane factory before they left the production line.
