Cuba Grand Prix, Havana 1954
Did you know that the XKSS began its life as a D-Type Jaguar? In 1957, when Jaguar retired from racing, they decided to modify 16 of the remaining 25 D-Types and offer them as muscular, road-going sports cars with 25"&"0 hp and a top speed of around 150 mph. All nine other cars were destroyed in a fire at the Browns Lane factory in Coventry. The distinctive fin was removed, and a windshield, passenger door, and shock absorbers were added. After their launch at the 1957 "&"New York Auto Show, two were shipped to pre-revolutionary Cuba. This example, chassis number 766, currently blazing along Havana's Ocean Shore Straight, was purchased by J.B. ""Pepillo"" Del Cuerto. He was killed in this car during a high-speed road test "&"in the narrow streets of Havana. It was later repaired on the island and returned to England in 1986, commissioned by legendary car collector Colin Crabbe. After a period in the Dönhoff Collection, it was restored to its original ""mist grey"" color in 20"&"10 by J D Classics in Chelmsford, England.
