The history of Lister and Jaguar goes back to the Lister Knobbly of the 1950's and the one armed racing driver Archie Scott-Brown. Unfortunately Scott-Brown died in a racing accident and Brian Lister pulled out of racing. Move forward to the nineteen eighties and three Jaguar enthusiasts Ron Beatty, John Lewis and Ian Exeter formed BLE and brought Lister and Jaguar together once again, with modified XJS's and XJ Saloons. This eventually became Lister under the management of Laurence Pearce at WP Automotive and eventually resulted in the ultimate Lister Storm, alongside the road going Le Mans and ultimate 7.0 ltr Wide Body XJS. During the nineteen nineties Lister went out of business until being resurrected again in its current form, which has no connection with previous operators. A LISTER XJS could be whatever specification the customer wanted, from a breathed on 5.3ltr V12 with 300+bhp and 400+ nm of torque, as is offered here, to a 7.0ltr V12 and 500 + bhp. Body styling varied from just the LISTER body kit to a full blown, wide bodied monster. Offered here is Wide Bodied Convertible with the full LISTER body kit + uprated 5.3litre V12 and a 5 speed GETRAG manual transmission. The motorcar is in outstanding condition having covered around 3000 miles since its full restoration in 2014/2015. In October 2022 it benefited from a total upgrade of whole breaking system with new competition, cross drilled and slotted discs, new callipers and pads. Other upgrades include big bore stainless steel air intakes + K&N type cone filters, big bore stainless exhaust system, Getrag manual transmission, digital speedometer, refurbished 17 x 8 OZ alloy wheels, Spax adjustable shocks, Jaguar Sport boot spoiler, new power roof and headlining, new Jaguar Sport steering wheel, new leather interior and new carpets. The car has to be seen and heard to fully appreciate the stunning condition and the outstanding value it represents. Viewing strictly by appointment. Note: The motorcar is now registered G885VSE.
