JAGUAR LISTER XJC – in the beginning
One of our major projects this year is a full restoration on a Jaguar Lister XJC and what a beautiful car it once was.
We are told that in June 1999 is was featured in Jaguar World with the headline,
‘Malcolm McKay tries one of Lister Cars’ more unusual creations and finds it to be … Phenomenal!!’
Unfortunately its not so Phenomenal now.
The car was snapped up by one of our clients when a previous restoration had been stopped and the vehicle went up for sale.
On it’s way to SPMMotorworks
It going to be a long road but restoration is well under way.
So far…… the Lister has been stripped down.
- Gearbox taken out
- Engine removed
- All suspension removed
- All brake components removed
- Fuel lines
- Interior
- Wiring
- Front and rear bumpers (that was fun!)
- Side skirts
Leaving just the shell to be bolted onto one of our custom made trolleys (for easy manouvering).
The Lister has now gone to be sand blasted and then onto to a specialist bodyshop for body and paintwork.
We’ll post updates when we have them so keep coming back.
