A stormy start to the week here at DMB Collection. Let us introduce to you a very rare car indeed that’s just landed into stock. Meet the Lister Thunder!
The association between Jaguar and the specialist engineering firm Lister goes back many decades. After Jaguar decided to cease its racing efforts from 1957, Shell-Mex BP, coincidentally lead sponsor for both Jaguar and Lister, were keen to maintain a present on the track. The simple solution would be to take the powerful Jaguar engine and fit it to a Lister ((Light Engineering Ltd.) chassis, and then offer Jaguar factory support. The new Lister-Jaguars raced successfully in 1957, and so cemented the relationship between the two firms. The relationship was revived in the 1980s with the outrageous XJS-based Lister Le Mans and into the 1990s with the Jaguar V12-engined Lister Storm, which won the FIA GT Championship in 2000. Lister’s role as Jaguar tuning partner of choice was sealed.
The Thunder is one of Listers later creations with an original price tag of £139,950! Just check this out!
