1956 Jaguar XKSS - a photo on Flickriver

1956 Jaguar XKSS

"The Studebaker National Museum recently opened a new special exhibit entitled “British Steel:Sports Cars”. Until March 2, 2009, visitors will have the opportunity to see the best of the sports cars from across the pond. The sports car was developed for the sport of driving. They had few creature comforts or amenities. The majority of them were developed to carry just two passengers and a limited amount of luggage. There were no cup holders." Quote from carcollector.com

The XKSS was the production version of the Jaguar D-type racing car.
Following Jaguar's withdrawal from competition in 1955, the remaining D-types were refurbished for the road to help recoup some of their investment. Modifications include an extra seat and door, a full windshield, and fold-down top. In total 16 XKSS were made before a fire at the Browns Lane plant ended production in 1957.

The XKSS was introduced at the New York auto show in 1957.
Sixteen buyers purchased the vehicles with the majority going to the United States.
