The car, which Jaguar claims to be the "world's first supercar," was a true racer for the road, famously used by actor and racing driver Steve McQueen as his personal vehicle. He called his the "Green Rat."
After the hat trick Le Mans wins, Jaguar decided to convert the 25 remaining D-Type models into road-legal vehicles for export to the United States.
"The XKSS occupies a unique place in Jaguar's history and is a car coveted by collectors the world over for its exclusivity and unmistakable design," Tim Hannig, Director Jaguar Land Rover Classic, said.
Each will cost "in excess of £1 million," or about $1.4 million. Jaguar will likely have no problem finding buyers.
