Is this based upon a C4 (1984 - 1996) Corvette?

As far as I know, Fornasari weren't making cars at the point when this creation was built. We're talking early to mid-nineties here.

<<< link removed >>> Is it the manufacturer of the car? I say so since the logotype of the cars says "Lister Cambridge", but the answer is "Lister Nort America Ltd"..  ??? Could someone explain me this?

UPDATE: <<< link removed >>>
The article says: "In the '90s the company making the Lister Storms also built a short run of knobbly Lister-Jags for use in historic events. These were exact replicas and the chassis were built in the old Lister factory in Cambridge (overseen by Brian Lister) and are true continuation cars. Also in the '90s, the Lister name was licensed to a British company that sold custom body panels for Jaguar XJ sedans and the XJS. Lister North America in Oklahoma was a dealer for them, and later came out with its own design called the Lister-Corvette. It was a svelte, modern rebody kit for the C-4 Corvette, not a replica of the original. They were sold in kit and turnkey form, with body panels made by noted Porsche cloner Chuck Beck." Is it about this car ???

I can not explain it, but it's obviously got nothing to do with the English manufacturer.

My source was an old issue of Car & Driver, but I don't know where that is at the moment. I don't think there was any additional information there, anyway...
