REAL 1958 Lister Jaguar Knobbly Body Race Car & Engine Sound on My Car Story with Lou Costabile 

A really fantastic car. Lister Jags are highly respected cars. The most famous Lister driver was Archie Scott Brown who’s legs were both badly malformed and he didn’t have much of a right arm. He was born handicapped like this at birth. He tried for many years to get a driving license which was always refused. Finally he was given a license in 1951 and he immediately went out to win many races. Sadly Archie was killed at Spa Francorchamps in 1958 when he crashed and the car burst into flames. Getting back to Lister, after the Jaguar engined cars Lister went on to manufacture Lister Corvettes which was quite an hairy car. In the intervening years Lister also made cars with Maserati and Bristol engines. I have been fortunate to see Archie Scott Brown and all the various Lister cars over the years.

Gorgeous. I think I saw Bernard Juchli race one of these at a Sears Point vintage race years ago. Barney has a connection to my '67 E-Type.

Beautiful car and dream sounds....

brits have soul in car design

I don't know alot about British cars,but I like what sounds badass, the but the styling is sick out of control🤘 love the high apex fenders,head rest, the louvers ,and you never see barrel sided sports cars any more,LOVE IT !!!

6:12 I can't believe it's 2017 and I just now realized Weber carburetors are Italian. All this time I assumed they were from England.

One of my favorite cars, had the pleasure of driving and working on a couple of these. Nice video.

Interesting factoid. Ferruchio Lamborghini said of the XK straight six engine, 'why do you need a v12 when you have this torquey silky smooth straight 6 from Jaguar'

The XK straight six engine! The English answer to the wonderful American V8's

Just love this car! Again a fantastic car...along with the C-Type and D-Type.

Love all your videos Lou! I have been humbled and learning so much from your videos. This one is extra special i was born in 1958 again thank you so much! Greetings from Daytona Beach Florida!

Quickly becoming one of my mandatory visits on RU-vid. I may not entirely be knocked out by every car showcased, but I've enjoyed every video. This car is a knockout, btw. Yes, thanks Lou.

I learnt many years ago by an ace mechanic never gun or rev an engine then switch it off. Whilst it makes for a nice entrance when he drove the car in, it in fact is introducing unburnt fuel into the engine before it gets a chance to be ignited. The fuel runs down the cylinder bores and keeping up this habit multiplies the the amount of fuel in the bores overtime, some even ending up in the sump. 70% percent of engine wear is on startup... As to the Lister, a magnificent piece of English racing car design, helped by the venerable XK engine. I recommend 'Archie and the Listers' by Robert Edwards, a fantastic account of Archie Scott Brown whose physical handicap didn't stop him becoming a very famous driver at the wheel of these Listers.

Fantastic car !

Wow Lou, you really are covering some significant iron over your career here. What a beautiful machine you have shown us! This is a Capitol Car for sure.

Thank god you called it a bonnet, and not the hood, love the webbers, and the wheels are they aluminum?

Absolutely Gorgeous👍👍 THX Lou!

Great video and great topic, I love it! I knew Terry lived in Mesa, AZ but looking at the mountains in the background it looks like he is just a stone throw from me as I live over by the Superstitions. Would really enjoy getting to see his car in person and maybe even shoot a few photos of it besides my Beck Lister Corvette replica. Interesting, I know of a couple more Beck Listers in the area so it seems Phoenix is a magnet for them.

Jaguar il6.... pure art

Wasn't this being brokered by Fantasy Junction in Emeryville, CA last yr? I guess Sayther decided to keep it?

initially it sounded like a live Jag hunting only slightly mechanical note to it but somehow still accurate.

Beautiful car

Lou one of my all time favorite cars. I have been looking for a Beck replica for a few years. All of the ones I find are not up to my standard. You know they are being recreated again in Coventry ? Needed to mention The Lister driver Archie! He was killed racing and Brian Lister lost the want to race after the death of his friend.

As if a C-type or D-type wasn't cool enough! (just so everyone knows....Lister has built MORE of these beauties)

Motornoise from 8:12..

I thought they were made in Germany 🇩🇪
