LISTER XJS WANTED
Discussion
Thanks folks
Yes I know about the racing green one , little on the expensive side that one. Will check out the one in Scotland though. By the way to everyone who thinks I am mad, I am mad, I like cars that don't look like blob box's, pratical people carriers, yuk. I like cars that spit flame out of the exhaust and wake up the entire area. I like cars that are as politically correct as Hanibal Lecter teaching kids to cook ! Sorry getting all carried away there !
Keep the info coming people just in case north of the border does not work out !

know a chap who did my gearbox conversion that has a genuine supercharged lister and a few other lister varients in his "graveyard" i can ask him next time i am talking if any are for sale.
Otherwise, for 3k (or thereabouts) he will stick a geartrac box in any V12 that you give him ... has done 80 odd so far, so is fairly handy at them now !!
PM Me for any details.

Blimey, this brings back memories.
Le Mans 1994, on a French motorway and hard against the rev limter in a 320i trying to keep up with a mate in a Grif doing silly speeds. A Lister Jag storms past at mental speeds and begins to disappear into the distance when a HUGE cloud of black smoke bellows from the exhausts and Mr Lister-Jag pulls over to the hard shoulder... Probably a rather expensive breakdown

I still want one ! Even with all the problems . I have a great girlfriend who will happily pump oil into the engine to keep the pace up as it consumes planet killing quantities, hopefully avoiding disasters like the Le Mans one.
Still not found one !
Sorry, the chap i know with the "tatty" one does not want to sell ... turns out its spare parts to keep his real supercharged lister on the road ...
Its not for sale, but here are some pics of a friend's Lister Le Mans to feed your madness for the time being...

Yes, check out Peter Lorimer's one, assuming that he still has it. As it happens I know a little about the history of that car, It was owned from new I think by a wealthy individual who was a jag enthusiast, and while in his care would have been very well cared for. He died, and I believe that his widow then wanted to sell it. Bright red and in pretty good condition.
Have a look at http://www.listercars.co.uk/heritage/conversions.h... for reference when buying a Lister. This should help confirm the cars history.
