2020 Lister Knobbly Continuation for Sale in the United Kingdom

Built in road-going form for the sixtieth anniversary, this Knobbly is car nine in a series of ten continuation examples, powered by the 3.8-litre D-type engine with its wide-angle head and dry sump. The factory added the pack for public roads, chrome exterior details, leather bonnet straps, a roll hoop and rollover bar, a double-zipped tonneau, two travel bags, a front tow hook, heat shielding with coated exhaust, Rubberstone underbody protection and 16-inch Dunlop wheels. It has only delivery mileage.

Lister built the Knobbly between 1957 and 1959, a lightweight sports racer quick enough to out-drag D-type Jaguars and reach more than 180 mph, raced in period by Stirling Moss and Innes Ireland among others.

The car is located in Hook Norton, United Kingdom.

The Lister Knobbly uses the 3,781 cc Jaguar XK straight-six, with a four-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. The chassis is a steel-reinforced tubular space frame clothed in aluminium panels. Double wishbones lead the front wheels, while a De Dion axle with coil springs carries the rear. Conceived as a lightweight sports racing car, it keeps the curved bodywork that earned the Knobbly its nickname.

FAQ

This Lister Knobbly in the European market

Can this Lister be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Hook Norton, United Kingdom. The dealer quotes it as: The chassis is a steel-reinforced tubular space frame clothed in aluminium panels. Double wishbones lead the front wheels, while a De Dion axle with coil springs carries the rear. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Lister Knobbly cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €344,144 in United Kingdom, excluding options. This car is advertised at £299,500, 2% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today.

Who is selling this Lister Knobbly, and how does a purchase work?

Tom Hartley Jnr, a professional dealer in Hook Norton, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Lister Knobbly be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Hook Norton, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this Lister Knobbly still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Tom Hartley Jnr before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the United Kingdom?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.
