This car was counted as part of Jaguar's stock of unsold D-Types on November 21, 1956. It was originally sold to Richard Kessler who raced the car between July and September, 1957 at American venues including Lime Rock, Marlboro, Montgomery and Watkins Glen.
The car was then converted back to D-Type specifications and sold to Don Horn of Memphis, Tennessee. He raced the car on a few occasions. The car was eventually sold Gary Bartlett in the U.S. He also purchased the old 3.4 liter engine and the XKSS components. That collection of pieces was carefully rebuilt in the 2005-06 period. The car was entered in and rolled over during the 2006 Mille Miglia, luckily without permanent harm to the vehicle or occupants. It was repaired and purchased by the current owners afterwards.
