      1st owned by one of the finest actors to appear on the silver screen, this XKSS was one of only 16 original manafacture cars of this kind before a fire nearly destroyed the factory leaving 9 cars destroyed.

      Jaguar have since built 9 'continuation' cars and I believe the bottom end value wise, is around £2m each. If you need to ask etc.

        Excellent work Mike. One thing though… the floor seems to have a strong green tint to it ? Might be my old eyes playing tricks. 👍

          Thanks mate, agreed. The green tint on the floor comes from the hdri, which is misbehaving and even rescaling the model leaves it lookinbg like a kiddie cart. Annoying.

            HDRI is gone, back to a physical studio if a basic one.

              I like this one better. 👍 👍 👍

              It would be neat if you could get the color of the jag from the previous one with the floor of this one.

                Ta mate, just heading closer to British Racing Green which is the colour all of the first tranche were painted. The continuation cars are not so limited but I wanted a link to the original vehicles and just about the only reg I could find was this one.
