Does anyone have any pictures of the Lister Storm?

On the web, there only seems to be a handful of press shots and a couple from Goodwood a few years back.

Please post if you do smile

Thanks for your helpful response. I would have preferred a 'Let Me Google That For You' link.

Anyone have pictures of their own of a Lister Storm?

I'm not the one who seemed incapable of finding pictures of Lister Storms, so don't get your knickers in a twist...

Indeed there are, though they are quite possibly the ugliest supercar ever made.

Not many build if the last thread about this is true. What was it, 6 of them?

Something like that, I can't remember the exact number. Didn't they go bump shortly after the Storm going into production or something like that?

Lovely car I think, the racer sounds fantastic in the Tiff video. I was wanting to find some decent interior shots as I understand they are a 4 seater. Those pics are hard to come by

Did anyone actually ever see any except the one that Lawrence Pierce showed for homologation?

I'm almost certain I've seen a Silver one near me in East Yorkshire.

Quick Google suggests I'm probably right, pictures of engine rebuild done at a garage in Hull.

Saw this road car at Goodwood a couple of years back now:


Lister Storm

I think there was only 3 or 4 road cars built. I recall a purpley-blue one, a silver one, a green one and possibly a blue one.

I recall Oakfields had a race car version for sale for what seemed like years. It's not on their website anymore, it sold last November, but here's a link to that car with quite a few pictures:

Didn't realise they were front engined. I've never seen one in the flesh and always assumed that they were mid engine given the low pointy nose, the large side air intakes and the fat arse.

Is it based on anything? Jaguar XJS V12?

I've seen the silver one, in Beverley (Near Hull)

That was around 5 year's ago ("ish") & I've not seen it since frown

Good grief that is good looking. I love these small batch supercars. So often derided as kit-car tat next to the top shelf exotica they compete with, but I find them quite glorious.

Thank you! Exactly what I hoped to get - not all pictures appear on google images, of course.

There were four or five made, depending on which source you believe and one was written off/destroyed.

The three are the green shown above, this silver one and the blue one with the plate L1* TER.
