Lister Knobbly In Road-legal Specification

The Lister Motor Company has announced the first ever dedicated road-going version of the legendary Lister Knobbly sports racer.
Unlike some ‘replica’ or ‘retro’ sports cars, the Lister Knobbly is not a classic shape on top of modern mechanicals. Beneath its hand-beaten aluminium body is a six-cylinder Jaguar 3.8-litre engine and four-speed gearbox, which is almost identical to the D-Type powerplants fitted in the 1950s.
Engines are built using all-new remanufactured parts around original Jaguar blocks, assembled by experts from Crosthwaite & Gardiner. Despite the ‘old school’ technology the engine is still capable of an impressive 330bhp - enough to power the 787kg Knobbly to 181mph and accelerate from 0-60mph (97 km/h) in just 4.3 seconds
The tubular chassis is made from seamless engineering tube using the original jigs, and all welds are pressure tested to ensure integrity. The aluminium body panels alone take around 500 hours to beat into the Knobbly’s distinctive shape.
A Knobbly fitted with a 4.2-litre 6-Cylinder engine will be priced at £225,000 on-the-road, while a 3.8-litre with Dry Sump will be priced at £295,000.

Absolutely brilliant to see this small but fantastic company resurrected, and also that there's a 2 year waiting list. Look to the future!

Amazing vid
