About the Jaguar XKSS Cream AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Jaguar XKSS in cream opens its doors and bonnet over the race-bred layout inherited from the D-Type. It is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage. A detailed replica of an extremely rare road conversion built directly from Jaguar's Le Mans-winning racer.

Few road cars carry a racing pedigree as direct as the XKSS, built from surplus D-Type chassis, and AUTOart's diecast gives that story the fine panel work it deserves.

AUTOart's Fine Detailing on a Rare Subject

The zinc alloy body holds tight shut lines around the doors and bonnet, both of which open to reveal the D-Type-derived structure and simplified but recognisable engine bay. Cream paint carries convincing depth under direct light, positioning this firmly above mass-market diecast, and the wire-style wheels and windscreen surround are rendered with genuine care. This example is a used model, and its outer box shows traces of storage; the casting itself remains sound. That should be weighed against the price of a fresh piece from AUTOart's range.

The XKSS's Rare D-Type Heritage

Jaguar built the XKSS by converting leftover D-Type race chassis into road-legal sports cars, adding a passenger door, a windscreen and minimal creature comforts to an otherwise pure competition design. A fire at Jaguar's Browns Lane factory cut the planned run short, making surviving examples extraordinarily rare and highly sought after among marque enthusiasts; Steve McQueen famously owned one. On a shelf, this replica anchors a display built around Jaguar's competition heritage, sitting naturally beside a D-Type or later E-Type to trace that racing-to-road lineage.
