The Jaguar XKSS holds a legendary place in automotive history, born from the ashes of the D-Type racing program. Following Jaguar's withdrawal from factory racing at the end of the 1956 season, Sir William Lyons decided to convert the remaining 25 unsold D-Type chassis into road-going sports cars. These "street-legal D-Types" featured a passenger door, a full-width windscreen, rudimentary side screens, bumpers, and a small folding roof. Famously, nine of these cars were lost in a devastating fire at Jaguar's Browns Lane plant in February 1957, making the surviving 16 originals among the most coveted and valuable collector cars in the world. Its raw performance and stunning aesthetics cemented its status as an icon, famously owned by figures like Steve McQueen. Given the scarcity and astronomical value of original XKSS models, a select few specialist manufacturers have undertaken the meticulous task of recreating these masterpieces. Lynx, a British firm renowned for their incredibly accurate and high-quality Jaguar C-Type and D-Type replicas, is widely regarded as producing some of the finest XKSS recreations available. This particular example, a 1967 Lynx XKSS, is a true testament to their craftsmanship. Power comes from a period-correct 3.8-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, paired with a Jaguar full-synchro 4-speed manual transmission, offering an authentic driving experience that mirrors the original. What makes this Lynx XKSS truly exceptional is its provenance: it is reported to be the very last example built by the company and was personally owned by the Lynx company owner. With a mere 1,215 miles on the odometer, this stunning recreation remains in virtually as-new condition, presenting an unparalleled opportunity to experience the legend.
