A very simple, quick, top down driving experience.

Nowadays they sell in the 30-50k GBP range, but are still hard to find (though I see two sold just recently, and a red one is for sale). I particularly love it when Lister lowers the trunk lid to give the car a wing, and that is really, really really rare -- more often they make the car a fastback, and get rid of the vertical rear window and the flying buttresses that I love. Naturally, the rear end had to be tubbed out and flared to accomodate the huge rear tires. Sometimes Lister messed with the nose/headlight arrangement to get a better Cv, but I don't really like that.

But the way that beautiful V-12 looks with a twin-screw supercharger hanging off the outboard side of each intake is.....and it corrects that particular -12's one deficiency: it doesn't breathe well, stock. With the screws, it's cranking out over 700HP and good for over 220MPH -- in '89! They made convertibles, too.

Some more pics of that blue one. Serious pron. I want it so incredibly badly. It's perfect.

Unless you leave it to me in your will.

Glaser Motors in FL has a blue convertible for sale, and there is a red fastback for sale in the UK -- at one time it had the tags: G 5pot, and in the UK's tag font, the 5 really looked like an S.

I really, really, really want one. I mean, I took my XJ-S for a ride Friday, and truly, it is a beautiful car to drive. There's nothing like a -12, they feel incredible. But that thing must thus be incredible. There is a guy (name I forget) who put a pair of twin-screw Whipples in a blueprinted XJ-S mill, which was also an incredible car, but it isn't a Lister.
