1970 Jaguar XKSS Recreation by Lynx

$375,000 - $450,000 USD  | Offered Without Reserve

Chassis No. P2R13979

Lynx Car No. 9

Documents US Title

Constructed as a tribute to Steve McQueen’s infamous XKSS, the “Green Rat”

Custom built using a donor 1970 Jaguar E-Type Roadster

Unique left-hand-drive configuration

All engine, suspension, brakes, and steering components are Jaguar

Features a hand-made aluminum monocoque with extended footwell for taller drivers

Powered by a Lynx-tuned, 4.2-liter Jaguar straight-six engine fed by triple Weber carburetors

Completed in 2014, this Lynx XKSS Recreation was constructed as a tribute to one of Hollywood actor Steve McQueen’s favorite cars, his British Racing Green 1957 Jaguar XKSS, which he dubbed the “Green Rat.” Using a 1970 Jaguar E-Type Roadster as a donor vehicle, Lynx hand built a custom aluminum bonnet, tail section, and monocoque body with an extended footwell for taller drivers. In further tribute to the Green Rat, the car was fitted with a satin black dash and McQueen-specification black leather seats. Under the hood lurks a highly tuned version of Jaguar’s 4.2-liter straight six-cylinder engine fed by a trio of Weber carburetors and rated by Lynx at 270 horsepower.

In 2019, the car was treated to over $52,000 in servicing by Winning Makes of Santa Barbara, California. Documented work includes the fabrication and fitting of an aluminum airbox, rebuilding the carburetor and distributor, installing new spark plugs, and comprehensively dialing-in the suspension, steering, clutch, and braking systems. Copies of a Lynx Proof of Build & Ownership report, Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate for the donor car, and service invoices accompany the sale.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
