Lister a company with racing pedigree

I was recently going through Road & Track car magazine on a day when I had run out of any interesting cars to research and write about, until I stumbled across this racing company. Lister is a British racing and race Car Company from the 50’s and has won several races in Britain and other countries. The cars were built in Cambridge and built by Brian Lister. Some of the models listed on their website or rather manufactured by them are the Lister Knobbly a car with a hand beaten aluminium body underneath which lies a Jaguar 3.8L V6 engine a four speed gear box this car has the power to impress both on paper and on road, the power out is 330 horse power. Just 330hp? Let me just remind you that it weighs just 787 kg. 0-60 takes just 4.3 sec. this car is all back to basic, track focused beast.   To add to the line-up Lister has a Lister Knobbly Sir Stirling Moss version of it. This model is a replica of the car that Stirling Moss himself drove to victory in 1958 at Silverstone
