1957 Jaguar XKSS Roadster

The first owner of this Jaguar XKSS, J.B. 'Pepillo' Del Cuerto took delivery of the car in Miami and had it shipped straight to Cuba. He and fellow XKSS owner Fausto Gonzalez Chavez tested their cars in a high-speed run during which Del Cuerto crashed and was killed. The wrecked car was kept undisturbed in a junkyard on the island until 1967 when it was liberated by Cabrera and Chaguito and the car was made roadworthy although rarely used. It was rediscovered and bought by Colin Crabbe in 1986. The car was restored by Hall & Fowler in the United Kingdom for German collector Donhoff. In 1996 it went to Dean Meiling in the United States who used it many events before selling in 2010.
