Nowadays Lister spends its days modifying Jaguar F-Types and F-Paces, but its history is firmly rooted in car called the Knobbly - a revered Jaguar-engined race car from the Fifties. A few years ago the company said it would build a handful of continuation cars faithful to the original"s specification, but now it looks like things are about to get a bit more high-tech. Enter Lister boss Lawrence Whittaker, who in a Tweet revealed the "Knobby Concept" his company has been "working on". We"ve no idea whether this is a car that will ever get made, or whether it"s merely a design exercise that will only ever exist on screen. Hopefully it"s the former, for as side profiles go, you"ll no doubt agree this is a damn good one. More aggressive than the Ferrari Monza SP1 & SP2, with enough of the original Knobbly in there to justify its name.
