A Masterpiece Reborn: Brand New Jaguar XKSS Recreation by The Lister Motor Company
For the discerning collector who demands absolute perfection, unrivaled motorsport pedigree, and the raw, unadulterated thrill of 1950s sports racing, we are thrilled to present this brand new, delivery-mileage Jaguar XKSS Recreation. Commonly heralded as the world’s first true supercar, the original 1957 XKSS was born when Sir William Lyons famously converted the remaining legendary, Le Mans-conquering D-Type racers into road-legal roadsters. With original examples firmly locked away in elite private collections, this breathtaking creation offers a rare opportunity to own a flawless, brand-new homage to an automotive god.
Crafted by Legends: The Lister Connection
This exceptional vehicle has been engineered and hand-built from the ground up by none other than The Lister Motor Company. Few names carry as much historic weight in British sports car racing as Lister. Famed for dominating the tracks in the late 1950s with their brutal, Jaguar-powered machines, Lister possesses an unbroken lineage of engineering excellence. Today, Lister’s master craftsmen continue to build the world-renowned Lister Knobbly continuation cars using original jigs and traditional, hand-beaten aluminum fabrication. It is this exact, world-class racing expertise that has been poured into this XKSS recreation. Built by the very same engineers who construct the iconic Knobbly, this vehicle benefits from an unmatched standard of structural integrity, historical accuracy, and mechanical precision.
Exterior & Purity of Form
The sweeping, voluptuous lines of the XKSS are captured here in absolute perfection. The stunning dark British Racing Green coachwork flows flawlessly over the muscular wheel arches, terminating at the iconic, minimalist rear end. The flawless, mirror-like reflection on the bonnet proudly wears the gleaming, chrome “Jaguar XKSS” script badge. Every period-correct detail has been meticulously replicated: The unmistakable full-width, chrome-surrounded windscreen. Authentic side screens and a beautifully integrated folding fabric roof for classic weather protection. Stunning, period-correct Dunlop-style wheels with central spinner knock-offs, giving it an undeniable, aggressive stance on the asphalt.
Heart of a Le Mans Warrior
Lifting the beautifully sculpted bonnet reveals a masterclass in classic mechanical engineering. The heart of this beast is a brand-new, impeccably detailed Jaguar straight-six powerplant. True to the spirit of the original 1950s D-Type power units, the engine bay is a breathtaking landscape of polished aluminum and motorsport-grade components: Polished D-Type Style Cam Covers: Radiating a brilliant, show-quality shine. Triple Side-Draft Carburettors: Perfectly tuned to deliver that historic, crisp induction roar and instant throttle response. Premium Ancillaries: Featuring a high-capacity aluminum radiator, heavy-duty cooling system, and meticulous plumbing designed to ensure absolute reliability in modern traffic conditions.
An Unrepeatable Opportunity
This is not merely a replica; it is a meticulously engineered tribute built by a legendary British constructor that was actually there competing on the grid during the golden era of motorsport. Because it is brand new, it offers its next custodian the incredibly rare privilege of turning the key on a fresh, delivery-mileage masterpiece. Whether destined to headline a world-class collection, grace the lawns of prestigious Concours d’Elegance events, or tear up sweeping B-roads, this Lister-built Jaguar XKSS recreation stands as the ultimate expression of vintage motoring luxury.
