Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Painted Dunlop alloy wheels, full width Plexiglas windscreen, braced rollbar, fire system. A Cunningham team car. Drivers include Briggs Cunningham, Stirling Moss, Ivor Bueb, Walt Hansgen, Ed Crawford and Dr. Dick Thompson. Freshly restored and well maintained historic racer. Not like new but darn close.

Market commentary

Back in 1992 Coys offered this Lister in London where it no saled at $155,000 against a $188,000 estimate. Its had two restorations since then and a full calendar of historic racing and concours appearances. Its Cunningham history (it was Walt Hansgens first Cunningham ride) makes it probably the most important and successful Lister Jag, and certainly the most important of the Costin bodied examples. This transaction is fair to both parties, but perhaps a little more fair to the buyer, who got a singularly significant sports racer for no more than a market price.
