Jaguar Classic To Build 9 New $1.5 Million XKSS Supercars

They're going downmarket a little...

"Development costs amortized thanks to profit from the six continuation series 1963 Lightweight E-types delivered about a year ago at a price of $1.5 million each, Jaguar’s Classic division will build on that engineering and offer nine brand-new XKSS sports cars."

Different safety standards those days... Notice that those bicyclers are not wearing helmets. Shocked Laughing Thumbs Up You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Fascinating video, thanks for posting. Interesting to see the circuit in mid-fifties condition, still entirely on public roads.

Recording equipment has evolved a bit since then, too.

Mike Hawthorn is synonymous with Jags, and as far as the SS is concerned, I'd reckon they'd all be pretty well pre sold.
