1958 Lister Jaguar "Knobbly".
The bulbous Costin body was designed
to make the 1959
Lister aerodynamically "slippier" than the 1958 car. With the
additional frontal area, the later car was actually SLOWER on the straight
than its rough-hewn earlier sibling. Both designs suffered from front-end
lift at high speeds.

in the Day".
