About this car
A one-off sports-racer built in 1958 by Bryan Wingfield, later known for his work with Ford and the GT40. It uses factory Lister suspension parts, originally made as spares for the 1955 works Lister-Bristol, mounted on a steel-tube centre structure and clothed in hand-formed aluminium. It weighs about 640kg.
It raced, sprinted and hill-climbed between 1959 and 1961, with drivers including Wingfield, Jill Hutchinson and Tony Densham. The original Bristol BS4 Mk III engine and gearbox were sold off after 1961. The current owner bought the rolling chassis in 1982 and fitted the Bristol 100D engine it still has.
The car was stored, then rediscovered in 2012 and recommissioned by Bristol specialist Spencer Lane-Jones Ltd. It has since appeared at Goodwood, Castle Combe, Silverstone and Prescott. The body is unpainted aluminium and carries its scrutineering labels. It comes with supporting historical material.
