The king of cool, Steve McQueen, with his Jaguar XKSS and his horse, Doc. 1960. A rare combo of speed and style, parked right next to pure horsepower. #jaguar#automotivehistory

The XKSS is super rare. A bunch of the 25 unit production run was destroyed in a factory fire. I think total production ended up being 15 or 16 cars.

I always had a hard time distinguishing the XKSS from the "D" type.

@BillSmith That is because the XKSS is basically a "D" Type with the accessories to make it street legal. So they are basically identical.

@BillSmith Btw, easiest way to tell the difference is the full windshield vs the single small on on the D Type.

@BillSmith They look a bit like an shorter "E" Type.
