Few names in British motor racing carry the weight and romance of Lister. From the fearless Archie Scott Brown era of the 1950s to the thunderous V12-powered Storms of the modern GT age, Lister built its reputation not on nostalgia, but on winning. The marque claimed the British Empire Trophy four times - with victories in 1955, 1957, and later a record fourth win in the Storm era, while its GT pedigree was underlined by the 1999 British GT Championship, the 1999 British GT GT2 title, the 2000 FIA GT Championship, and another British GT Championship in 2001. Lister deserves its place in the annals of British racing legend because it represents the very best of the national tradition: fearless engineering, giant-killing spirit, beautiful hand-built machines, and a habit of defeating bigger rivals on the world stage.
