• Formerly owned and raced by Dr Philippe Renault • Not used since 2014 • Requires complete restoration • Eligible for the Le Mans Classic and other prestigious historic events • FIA papers (issued 1989) "This car offers the best combined price to performance, power to weight, and power to frontal area ratios available anywhere in the world for a sports car.
The 1957 racing season has now ended and out of the 14 races for which they were entered Scott-Brown and the Lister-Jaguar won 11, finished second in one, and had minor mechanical trouble in the other two when in the lead, nevertheless setting up the fastest lap in both races.
They have also either equalled or broken the existing unlimited sports car lap record during either the racing or at practice on all circuits where they have appeared." - Lister Press Release, October 1957.
