Lister Costin

This car took part in the Pre '60 Historic Sports Cars Championship race at the HSCC Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1987.

It's shown in the programme of the event as Mike Freeman's 1959 Lister Jaguar Costin with a 3,870cc engine and is chassis BHL 133. The 1959 car was designed by Frank Costin to accommodate a Chevrolet Corvette engine, which most of them did, although a few of the cars used the same Jaguar engine as the earlier Lister 'Knobbly' cars. I've previously shown photographs of the Costin bodied Listers on 12 April 2016 and 21 February 2017.

Nice to see the old, largely grass-covered Oulton Park paddock.

Lister Corvette

This car competed in the BRDC Historic Sports Car Championship Race at the Silverstone Historic Tribute meeting in June 2004.

It's the 1959 Costin-bodied 5.3 litre Lister Corvette of Julian Bronson, which was originally built for Mike Anthony. Next to it is the 1956 Ferrari 750 Monza (chassis #0568M) of Carlos Monteverde that I featured on 27 June 2014.

Ferocious looking beast!

Lister Jaguar

This is a photograph I took at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in May 2001.

Neither car is listed in the programme of the event and car number 6 in the race in which these cars could have competed was a Lotus Eleven. The car on the right is a Lister Jaguar of 1958, or possibly one of the Lister Knobbly continuation cars. The car on the left is the 1959 car that Frank Costin designed with an aerodynamic body round a Chevrolet Corvette engine for Brian Lister. It was intended for the Chevrolet power plant, but some of the cars were fitted with the Jaguar engine.
