The one you missed out on - was that the red one that's been sitting in Lorimer and Findlay (Glasgow) for a while?

i phoned the owner of the garage up but unfortunately some old chap has brought it nearby so obviously i asked if he wants to sell it ,but answer was no.
you wouldnt know who the old chap is who brought it.

Sorry, but no.

Good luck with your search, those Listers are a bit tasty.

Have you tried this guy:

I seem to recall he buys and sells Lister jags

[bkchand]

yes i have tried him he has got my number he does conversion kits from auto to manual.john from beare green up in surry i think.
2 years ago i did have a wide bodied lister on a f plate with black recaro interior but it was only a 3.6 straight six cylinder.the amount of rust was unbelievable both sills,front valence, front radiator crossmember had all gone
plus the engine was burning oil so i had to let it go. it was a wreck.
will put a add in the jag mags see if i get any responce, all ready have ads put up on jag web sites, but they are hard to find .
probably stored away in peoples lock ups,never mind i will continue with my search.

What are the Listers worth?

When did they come out?

I seem to recall the first car was a grey one in around 86/87?

Do you think they would make a good long term investement?

I do fancy an early car but have no idea on value.
