This Jaguar's first owner, Don Horn, did not keep this car for long and several owners are recorded until 1966 when it was wrecked by the sales manager of Delavan Lee, a Jaguar dealership. In 1970 the car was bought by Florida collector Walter Hill, who initially restored it as a shortnose D-Type production car, but then had it re-restored in 1991 as a longnose D-type with a specification similar to the 1956 works cars. In 2005, it was bought by Gary Bartlett who had it rebuilt back to its XKSS form. The car was sold again in 2006 and is now privately owned.
