saw a guy buying Steve McQueens old Volvo 960estate.
It had a 5.7V8 supercharged engine and full race suspension set up.

Thanks Albert, good spot.
I don't get to see an XKSS regularly anymore since I changed garage. They are gorgeous.

It was on Chasing Classsic Cars the other night. Rather nice for a Volvo.

I only once saw an XKSS and it was a rep.


Ex-Jim Clark D: awesome an XKSS is a D in disguise.

A couple of years back a group of us XJS nuts went to Bridgnorth to a Jaguar restoration centre it was like going to heaven.

Wow! hasn't a real one shown up at one of the events you photograph?

XKD517 started life as a D and it wasn't until well after the Browns Lane fire that an attempt was made to convert it to an XKSS, so it can't surely be counted as a real one. Besides she does such a good job of carrying the D-Type disguise.
