XJS Lister Body Kit

Postby ABZ7836 » Tue Jun 28, 2016 2:58 pm

I'm sure this has been asked before so apologies... :|
I want to convert my XJS 'standard' bodywork to the MK111 Lister bodywork with the wide arches high rear spoiler etc. I've done quite a bit of research on-line and there doesn't look like anybody is offering any form of kits so it could be a bespoke job using a good fabricator.
Does anyone have any measurements / specifications so that we can get the arches as close to the MK111 as possible??

You could try Jon at Simply Performance, he specialises in Listers.
Just make sure that you get what you ordered if you buy something.

KWE have also done a very comprehensive restoration of one of the wide-body cars which I believe involved fabrication of the wings, so they might well be a good source of information.

It sounds an interesting project which I'm sure we'd all appreciate reading about here on the Bulletin Board and in the magazine!

Good luck

Have spoken to Jon already. Not sure how 'helpful' he is. Feel a bit bad because most of the Lister bits he sells are already on the car so think I'll have to pay him for his technical advice.
Never even thought about doing a piece for the magazine. Food for thought....

A piece for the magazine would be great! I'm always looking for content. Contributions from members are always welcome otherwise you have to read more of my dribblings!
