About the Jaguar XKSS Blue AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Jaguar XKSS in blue reproduces the road-legal D-Type derivative with opening doors and bonnet exposing the straight-six engine. A genuinely rare 1950s British subject, cast with proper diecast weight and detail for a classic sports shelf.

The XKSS took Jaguar's Le Mans-winning D-Type and fitted it with a passenger door, a proper windscreen and small comforts to make it road-legal, and only a handful survived a factory fire before production ended.

Diecast Construction and Opening Details

AUTOart's zinc alloy casting gives the low, curved body genuine weight, and the bonnet lifts to show the straight-six engine positioned well back in the chassis, a hallmark of the D-Type's racing origins. The doors open on tight hinges, revealing a cabin trimmed simply, in keeping with a car whose priority was speed over comfort. Panel gaps sit at typical diecast width, but the flowing, curved bodywork hides seams well because the surfacing itself is so continuously rounded. The blue paintwork carries a deep, correct-period gloss, and the wire-style wheels are picked out with fine spoke detail that suits a car this closely tied to competition roots.

The XKSS as a British Motoring Rarity

Because so few genuine XKSS cars were built, this diecast is often the only practical way most British collectors will ever handle the shape at close range. It sits naturally on a shelf of 1950s British sports cars, bridging the gap between pure competition machines like the D-Type and later road-focused Jaguars, and the opening doors and bonnet let a collector engage with it directly rather than only viewing it through glass. For anyone building a Jaguar or vintage British motoring theme, it is a genuinely significant subject.
