Commissioned by the current owner in 2015, this XKSS re-creation took two years to complete Utilising a painstakingly crafted body formed from riveted aluminium sheet, as was the original, exceptional lengths have been taken to achieve what must surely be one of the very best re-creations built to date. Attention to detail is evident wherever you look and the fit and finish are exemplary. Motivation is provided by a period-correct, 3.4-litre, dry sump, XK 6-cylinder breathing through triple Weber 45DCOE carburettors and the power output is fed through an all-synchro gearbox to a Jaguar independent rear axle. Everything on the SS is either fully refurbished or new with the underside being as detailed and as clean as the remainder of the vehicle. 

Rolling on correct-style, 16’’ Dunlop peg-drive wheels, this hand-built XKSS re-creation offers a rare opportunity for the true Jaguar enthusiast to acquire, what to many, is one of the most iconic Jaguars ever produced. This special car would undoubtedly be welcome at classic/historic events all over the World, or would be equally at home simply nipping to the local hostelry in true Steve McQueen style! Your inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate this exquisite machine.
