The XKSS was a happy accident from Jaguar's decision to withdraw from racing after the 1956 season. As a result, Sir William Lyons decided to convert the remaining D-Type race cars into high-performance sports cars. Known as the XKSS, Jaguar built 16 examples including this one, XKSS 707, which will be auctioned by RM Sotheby's during Monterey Car Week in August.
