AI Listing Summary
This is a 1959 Lister-Chevrolet 'Costin' Sports-Racing Two-Seater, chassis BHL 121, the prototype of the Costin-bodied series. It boasts a 5,359cc Chevrolet V8 engine, a well-documented history with racing pedigree, and eligibility for international motorsports events. The car has been restored and maintained, and comes with extensive documentation and spare parts.

Condition
7
While the car has been restored and maintained, it has a history of fire damage and has been through multiple owners and restorations.

Given the car's age, racing history, and restorations, "Very Good" seems appropriate, allowing for minor imperfections or the need for minor reconditioning to meet specific racing standards.
