Competition history |
The Lister Knobbly is a lightweight sports racing car, designed, developed and built by the British car manufacturer Lister, which was originally produced between 1957 and 1959.[2] The nickname "Knobbly" came from the distinctive but odd curved design of the bodywork, giving the car a unique shape.[3] It was powered by either Jaguar straight-6 or a larger Chevrolet small-block engine.[4]
