One of 11 Lister-Bristols ever built, this 1955 Lister-Bristol, BHL10, is a rare example of a unique Wakefield aluminum body. Verified by specialist Chris Keith-Lucas of CLK Developments Ltd., this car is part of the early production race cars built by Lister and boasts a large collection of period-correct parts for project completion.

Known for their powerful engines, elegant body shapes, and ability to win, Lister cars left an impact on the motorsport community and helped define the design of cars in the 1950s. The story surrounding early Listers is a fascinating tale of ingenuity, beginning with Brian Lister's enthusiasm for racing and his journey to establish Brian Lister Cambridge Ltd.

After designing and fabricating components for the first Lister, Brian's first Lister race car, the Lister-MG, was revealed. Although initially uncompetitive due to its MG 1,466cc engine, the installation of the Bristol engine transformed the car into an almost unbeatable machine, achieving numerous wins, including 1st-in-class for the 2.0-liter class at the British GP Silverstone meet.

1955 was a pivotal year for the Lister-Bristol, with the car and driver Archie Scott Brown taking 13 checkered flags, including the British Empire Trophy at Oulton Park. This car, BHL10, is one of the eleven Lister-Bristols ever built and comes with a comprehensive parts collection, including the Bristol engine and transmission, offering a unique opportunity to own and restore an early Lister-Bristol to its original period-correct configuration.

The Lister's authenticity has been verified by Chris Keith-Lucas, with numerous key aspects, including the 'Kite' layout of the chassis, original welding spots, and mounting points, confirming its status as an original chassis. With its rich history and rarity, this Lister-Bristol is a special piece of Lister history.

The ownership history of this Lister-Bristol includes sales and transfers between notable owners, including John Harper, David Vine, Bruno Nicolini, and Flavio Tullio. The car was also imported to Italy, reported to have raced in the European Historic Championship, and registered with the FIA as a Lister Jaguar before being acquired by Bruce Canepa in 2012.
