Jaguar XK-SS

Lord Montagu of Beaulieu, Jaguar, Jaguar Cars, 1990

In 1957 Jaguar produced this very exciting new car, basically a roadgoing D-type. It appears that the plan was to use up stocks of surplus parts as the D type racer was not selling. Unfortunately a fire destroyed the jigs after only sixteen were built.
