About this car

This is a Lister Knobbly recreation, built from 2012 by Mark Davies of Jacob Engineering as an exacting copy of the Briggs Cunningham car (BHL EE101) he had in his workshop. Every part of the original was measured and drawn before the build, and the result is an all-aluminium body in Old English White with blue stripes.

Power comes from a 3.8-litre engine with a D-type wide-angle head, Crosthwaite & Gardiner internals and three twin-choke 45 DCO3 Weber carburettors. The dealer quotes 340 bhp. It drives through the correct D-type four-speed manual gearbox, also with updated internals. The cockpit is bare aluminium with blue leather seats and correct gauges. Safety equipment includes a black roll hoop, a fully plumbed fire system and an external electric cut-off.

The car was raced at the Silverstone Classic by the dealer's managing director. It went from ninth on the grid to third before retiring with a sump oil leak. It has since been prepared for racing again. It is right-hand drive, with no mileage or registration given.
