I've seen many pictures of Steve McQueen with a unique looking Jaguar. What type of Jaguar was it and what happened to this car?
The car is a Jaguar XK-SS, a limited edition touring version of the D-type Jaguar that won LeMans in 1955, 56, and 57. Only 18 were ever built. Steve McQueen used it as an every day car for a few years and sold it in the sixties. A decade later, Steve repurchased the car for many times what he had sold it for and had plans to restore it but never got the chance. In 1984, the car was sold at the McQueen estate auction for $147,500 to a collector and he restored it to McQueen's specifications.
