VEHICLE SPOTLIGHT | 1956 JAGUAR XKSS

1956 Jaguar XKSS

Formerly Owned by Steve McQueen

Actor and performance-car aficionado Steve McQueen purchased this rare Jaguar from its second owner. He enjoyed driving it fast and is reported to have received so many tickets that his driver’s license was almost suspended twice during his first year of ownership. McQueen sold it in the early 1970s to famed collector Bill Harrah. He later reacquired the XKSS, keeping it until his untimely death from cancer in 1980.
