Jaguar Lister XJC

If you know Jaguars, you will know Lister. Back in the 1970's Lister created an extremely limited run of their XJC vehicles. Rumoured that only 4 were made, 3 of which were wide-body variants. This example is the only one that was not specced to be a wide-body, however, at some point during its life it was transformed to match the other 3 vehicles. Which would you prefer?

This vehicle's history with d:class is quite out of the ordinary. 8 years ago we retrimmed the interior while the car was away being repainted, and gaining a few inches of additional width on the front and rear wings. Amazing how well the interior has held up after all these years. The reason it is back with us is for some remedial repairs, most of which are not soft furnishings, but items like side trim and radio issues. Nonetheless, we had to make the most of our short time with the vehicle and treated it to a video and photo shoot, the full d:class treatment.

The interior consists of a set of Recaro seats, featuring "Lister" embossing, red leather piping, and cream leather panels. The same is repeated for the back seats, front door cards, and rear quarter panels. The A, B, and C pillars are trimmed in red Alcantara which is also on the headliner and sunroof panel. Carrying on the red theme, red velour carpets cover the entire floor to give a more period-correct premium environment.
