* The Jaguar XKSS was a road-going version of the Jaguar D-Type racing car. After Jaguar withdrew from racing the company offered the remaining unfinished chassis as the roadgoing Jaguar XKSS. Practical changes included the addition of a second seat, a second door, a full-width windshield and folding hood. However, on the evening of 12th February 1957, a fire broke out at the Browns Lane Jaguar factory destroying nine of the twenty-five cars that had already been completed or were semi-completed. Officially only 16 XKSS versions were completed for sale.
* In the very early 1960s I attended motor racing events at Kirkistown, my local circuit on the Ards peninsula, Co Down. One of the regular entrants was a Jack Slater from Scotland in a Jaguar XKSS. Hence, I repainted mine as a competition model.
