Has this manufacturer made other Jaguar-powered cars ?

Lister ?
That's what the seller claims it to be, a roadster based on a Jaguar E-Type V12, built by Lister for an American client, but never finished. I don't have any other evidence, so I can't tell how trustworthy this information is.

It must be bigger than it looks if a Jag V12 is to fit beneath that bonnet. I agree with el_monty, it's very attractive.  8)

Are those German licence plates on the Audi and Skoda? Lister are in Cambridge. The rear of the car looks a bit like the single-seat Lister "Monzanapolis" - I wonder if that was the intention of the American buyer?
