    1955 Jaguar XK-D D-TypeLike many competition cars of its time, this D-Type with chassis number XKD 575, has had several lives. It started out as a Jaguar D-Type in 1955, and as rules changed and customer demands evolved, the Jaguar factory decided to modify the car, which then became the new XKSS model in 1957. The XKSS was to be a dual purpose car, intended for road and racing, complying with the racing rules and regulations of the Sports Car Club of America. The car was delivered to Stanley McRoberts, of Montreal, who competed in several hill climbs. In 1974 the car came under new ownership and was converted back to this D-Type configuration.
