Lister Bell STR, has anyone built one or own?

[T5GRF]

I have always loved the Stratos, sadly my pockets aren't quite deep enough for an original...
I am familiar with the Hawk and Corse replicas but the Lister has only recently come to my attention.
I understand that building a Hawk car is not to be taken on By the novice, however from what I have read the Lister is a more straight forward kit to put together. I have absolutely no experience and very little mechanical ability but I do have time on my hands at the moment and quite fancy building one.
Has anyone built or building one at the moment?
Alternatively any owners on here care to share their experience with buying and running the car?

Many thanks

Thanks for the replies, I will take a look at the site!

LPH what sort of lead time is there with Lister for the kit to be delivered? I have read that they are running up to a year from order.

Can I ask what specification you are going for? Also being a little cheeky could I ask what your budget for the build will be given you intend to build it to a rolling chasis?

Cheers!

LPH, thanks for your detailed reply. It sounds like you will end up with a very nice spec car when you are finished.
What colour scheme will you be going for?

If you have time please share your build thread here!

Good luck with the build.

LPH, im really interested to know how things have progressed with your build?

Hi Andy, my biggest hurdle (apart from being inept with the spanners) is going to be selling the Griff as I won't be able to dry store both cars whilst building the Lister.

I need to blag a drive in a sorted car and arrange a trip to Nottingham to have a good look at a kit and a chat to make sure in theory I'm capable of bolting one together.. Fancy a day up there in 2017?
