Old cars breathe new life into. In the Uk they love it.
At Land Rover refurbish old Defenders, when Jaguar was the E-Type, a new life and also Lister is not sitting still. The British carmaker announced last year that the Lister Jaguar Knobbly back into production would be taken. 10 pieces would be the racer to be made. The classic looks virtually the same as 60 years ago. One disadvantage: you can not have the public road.
Not to worry because today is Lister with good news. They will go 10 instances to build a Knobbly on the street. The classic is from of 225,000 pounds, and the British Individual Vehicle Approval has found that there is a license plate on the car may be stuck.
Customers get the choice of two variants. A version with a 4.2 six-cylinder engine from the Jaguar XK120, or the sportier 3.8 zespitter of the D-Type. The former is what is more comfortable and more suitable for straatgebruik. With an acceleration time of 4.7 seconds to 96 km/h there is nothing to be ashamed of. The 3.8 does the sprint in 4,3 seconds. The car only weighs 787 lbs.
Lister says 500 hours need to be alone, the body of aluminium. In contrast to the classic from the sixties is the new something more luxurious to contemporary laws on the public road to comply with. The car has a nicely finished dashboard, mirrors, a parking brake, lights, and warning lights. If you now place an order for the straatlegale Lister Jaguar Knobbly will need about two years of waiting on the delivery.
