Soon after this Jaguar XKSS was built in 1957, Jim Peterson sold the car to TV personality and sports car racer Bill Leyden of Beverly Hills, who in turn sold it to movie star Steve McQueen. He had the car painted ark green. In 1967 McQueen sold the car to the William Harrah Automobile Collection of Reno, Nevada, but he bought it back in 1978. After McQueen's death in 1984, the car was bought by his friend and neighbor Richard Freshman, who had it overhauled by Jaguar specialist Lynx Engineering in England. In 2000 the car was acquired by the Petersen Automotive Museum of Los Angeles.Also photographed at :
