Jaguar Recreates Limited Edition Models lost in Fire Almost 60 Years Ago

This is a feel-good story that every automotive aficionado will be able to appreciate. Jaguar has decided to recreate 9 ultra-rare examples of the 1957 XKSS that burned during production on February 12, 1957. The decision to bring the vehicles back from the dead comes after Jaguar’s Lightweight E-type continuation models of 2015. These efforts further illustrate Jaguar’s continued effort to recreate historic examples of their brand.

While there is no confirmed price on these continuation models, Jaguar has stated that all nine examples have been sold to a “select group of established collectors and customers.” Delivery of these ultra-rare collectibles is expected to be completed by the end of 2017.
