1957 Jaguar XKSS Car

I want this car! 1957 Jaguar XKSS. Only 16 Jaguar XKSS automobiles were made. In 1957 the Jaguar factory burned down and Jaguar converted their race cars into road cars and sold them to raise money. The Jaguar XKSS was a race car for the street. Steve McQueen had one of these. This one is worth more than 5 million dollars. That's why there was glas between me and the car. I did the best I could getting it on video, but it is very well protected. You can see it at the Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo California. I don't know where the other 15 Jaguar XKSSs are. If you have one for sale, I'll give you 800 bucks for it.

I just posted a video of 13 of these side-by-side.

I didn't have a fantastically-accurate gentleman speaking his impeccable knowledge of the significance of this car in a british accent.  Favorite, Thumb...

@Jafromobile Thanks! I wish we could have gotten closer to the car and opened the hood. Maybe took it around the block. Your video is great. I'm amazed they could get that many of them in one place.

@Jafromobile It was a deliberate effort! If you look at the other linked videos on mine, the arrivals and some of the travels of some of them including a D-type that I never even saw. (the pale yellow one). Looks like more of them showed than what I managed to capture. It was Concours d'Elegance, and the reunion was a deliberate effort. Jaguar was the Featured Mark in 2010.
