Talking Canepa's '59 Lister

It's hard not to hate Bruce Canepa sometimes... he's got the best toys.

In 1958 Brian Lister hired Frank Costin to redesign his legendary race car. BHL 121 holds the distinction of being the prototype, and very first Lister Costin.

The 466hp Chevrolet V8 powered sports car has been mechanically sorted, and cosmetically refinished in its original stunning Crimson red paint with Wimbledon white roundel.





His page blocks hot-linking... but click below to see this monster!
