A remarkable example that is without question, the most original of all XKSSs.

Placed into storage in 1968 where it would remain for the next thirty years before being sold at Christie’s Pebble Beach Auction in 1998. Only 14,425 miles from new and still retains its original chassis, body, engine including the head and block plus its sand-cast 45 DCO3 Weber carburettors which are all individually numbered and still fitted in the same order as it left the factory back in 1957! In addition, the gearbox, rear axle, brake calipers, Plessey pump, shock absorbers, wiper motor and even the key barrel are still the original items fitted on the production line at Browns Lane over 63 years ago.

A car that cannot be repeated.
