About this car

The Knobbly Continuation is Lister's recreation of its 1958 Works sports racer, built from Brian Lister's original drawings and jigs with input from engineers who worked on the originals. This is car number 9 of just 10 built in the 60th Anniversary road specification, so it is a genuinely rare piece of 1950s racing heritage.

Power comes from a 3,781cc D-type-derived straight-six with the wide-angle cylinder head and dry-sump lubrication, producing 330 bhp in a car weighing 787kg. Lister quotes 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds and a top speed beyond 180mph, driven through a manual gearbox.

It is finished in black with black leather and carries a long options list: the public driver's road pack, chrome exterior pack, leather bonnet straps, roll hoop and rollover bar, double-zipped tonneau, heat protection pack with exhaust coating, underbody Rubberstone protection and 16-inch Dunlop racing alloys. The page describes delivery mileage only and condition as as-new.
