The Jaguar XKSS stands among the most celebrated sports cars in automotive history. Born in 1957 when Jaguar converted twenty-five unsold D-Type racing chassis into road-legal specification, tragedy struck when a fire at the Browns Lane factory destroyed nine cars and the production line, leaving only sixteen factory-built XKSS examples to reach customers. Today, those original sixteen command multi-million-dollar prices, placing them among the most valuable Jaguars ever created. Learn more about the Jaguar XKSS Replica market
