This 1994 Lister Storm (VIN SA9STRM1BRP053004) is described as one of four built and three remaining, all of which used a 7.0 liter V12 developed from the unit used in the epic Le Mans and Daytona-winning Jaguar XJR-9. Body construction was by aluminum honeycomb composite with bumpers made of carbon fiber and Kevlar–despite these weight-saving measures, the big GT weighed in at nearly 3,700 pounds, but with close to 550 HP and 600 lb. ft. on tap, it was still capable of low four-second range 0-60 times and terminal velocity of 208 MPH. This one looks incredible in dark green, and is said to be in excellent condition with a modest 31k miles. Find it here at Historics at Brooklands who will oversee its auction on May 19th, 2018 at the historic Brooklands Race Circuit and Motor Museum in England. Pre-sale estimates range from 145k-165k GBP (~$197k-$224k USD today). Special thanks to BaT reader Kyle K. for this submission.

This green shows like a slightly darker version of the classic BRG, and finish displays a deep gloss from varying angles. The exterior design has always been polarizing, but we think it’s aged surprisingly well–it’s definitely not a subtle looking car, but this subdued color definitely helps. Aero is aggressive all around including the low-slung front lip, side skirts and rear diffuser, the latter of which houses a quad exhaust. Flip-up headlights aren’t pictured open, but we like how the large, blocky taillights help emphasize the rear’s 6.5′ width. These cars were offered as both two-seaters and 2+2’s, though it’s not clear how this example is configured.

Lightweight five-spoke wheels appear heavily staggered, with the rear units also showing a wonderfully deep offset.

The green color scheme is continued on the interior, where it’s contrasted nicely by nutmeg-colored door panels. It looks like a modern stereo head unit has been fitted, but the rest of the rather basic trim and switchgear appears unmodified from stock. No other cabin shots are provided, but things look very nicely trimmed inside.

Hidden beneath carbon shrouding is a 7.0 V12 derived from Jaguar’s dominant XJR-9 endurance prototype, which won both Daytona and Le Mans in 1988. The underlying SOHC (per bank) 24-valve design from Jaguar’s road cars remains the same, but the bored and stroked unit powering the Storm produces 546 HP at 6100 RPM with 582.7 lb. ft. of torque peaking at 3450. Similar units were used in the XJS-based Lister Le Mans, which could even be specced with twin superchargers. Motivation is fed to the rear wheels through a Getrag 6-speed likely shared with BMW products of the era.

Founded in the 1950’s with roots firmly grounded in motorsport, Lister has longstanding history of taking Jaguar’s best to new levels of performance. An incredibly high list price of 220k GBP when new stifled sales and resulted in just a few Storms being built, a story not unlike that of the XJR-15 which came around a few years prior.
