Three of these British sports/racers contested Group 4.  Lister was an ironworks company, which was the source of much humor about the relative crudeness of their chassis designs.  One joke has it that since Lister built iron fencing, a section laid on its side became a car frame.  In an apocryphal story, Lance Reventlow was inspired to create the Scarab when he visited the Lister factory and was certain he could do better.
  

Tom Malloy of Villa Park, CA, finished 6th in his 3800cc. 1958 Lister-Jaguar.  This model of Lister was known as the "knobbly" because of the bulgy rough-hewn bodywork. Link to Chuck Daigh in Briggs Cunningham's Lister-Jaguar at Riverside in 1960.   Historian David Seielstad on the Lister frame: "The Lister frame was terrible. It was so flexible that it had to be rewelded after every race. There was always a crack or two. Perhaps more of a problem with the Lister-Corvettes than the Jaguar-engined models."

John Mozart finished 3rd in his menacing black Lister-Chevy.  This potent car has a long and successful history in northern California historic racing. Link to Don Hulette in a Lister-Chevy at Riverside in 1960.

Another Lister-Jaguar, this one driven by Nick Colonna of Palos Verdes Estates, CA.  Colonna finished 19th in this colorful car.  The replacement for the 1958 "knobbly" Lister was the 1959 "Costin" car.  This sleeker body was actually no more aerodynamic than the "knobbly" and was considered a "great leap sideways" in Lister evolution.
