1958 Lister-Jaguar


In the 50’s there were many racing manufacturers that used Jaguar engines. Brian Lister who had achieved much with his tube framed, MG and Bristol powered cars was persuaded to build one using the Jaguar twin-cam XK six cylinder.

In it’s maiden season of 14 races it had 11 wins, two seconds and one retirement under driver Archie Scott-Brown. For 1958 the body was a little longer and could be ordered in either aluminium or magnesium.

Scott-Brown lost his life in an accident and the world’s favorite (at the time) Stirling Moss picked it up and started winning from there. Lister- Jags were very popular in the United States and in the racing field were sponsored by Jaguar dealer and racing master Briggs Cunningham.
This car originally went to the United States, then spent many years in Canada. Followed by being in a collection in France. With full FIA papers it will be auctioned on May 21, 2007 in Coys’ “Ledgende et Passion” in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Place your bid:
