Jaguar XKSS
What is your favourite car of all time?
The XKSS was introduced by Jaguar in 1956 in an attempt to use up unsold monocoques. In 1957 there was a production line at Browns Lane slowly converting them from D-types, yet at $5600 no one wanted to buy them, despite being an incredible bargain (XKSS never officially sold in the UK). As a refined version of the D-Type, the XKSS featured an undivided passenger compartment, proper interior trim, full screen and a folding hood. Mechanically, it was pure D-Type with the same great performance and road manners. The factory fire at Jaguar in February 1957 halted production of the XKSS and only sixteen were built.
