Welcome to ListerBell Automotive

Lister Bell Automotive are pleased to announce the debut of their new model, the STR, a Lancia Stratos replica.

Lister Bell, based in Cheshire is a company recently founded by Craig White and business partner John Davidson. Craig who has been involved with the industry since 1989 has a vast experience of specialist car construction, chassis development, fabrication and composites. He has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry including Gardner Douglas & Ultima on cars ranging from Seven inspired replicas through Cobras, T70s & Stratos replicas to Ultimas & finally Stealth racing cars.

John whose background is in the mainstream motor industry has also been involved with the specialist car industry for the last five years. He will be managing the finance, marketing and sales enquiries for the new venture.

The STR features a chassis faithful to the original Lancia with strut type rear and double wishbone type front suspension utilising aircraft grade billet aluminum uprights with 5 stud drive flanges, ventilated discs and 4 pot brake calipers all round as standard. The chassis features a range of bespoke components and has been designed to accept authentic looking deep dish style wheels.

The bodywork will be available with pre coloured gel coat finish panels in either Stradale or Gp4 formats with pre installed wheel arch options, this has the potential to save the builder both time and effort plus the expense of paint work.

With all components being new and available direct from the manufacturer this should enable customers to realise their dream in as short and hassle free build period as possible.

At Lister Bell we have both drawn on our own experience & also listened carefully to many component car builders and the headaches they have had with assembling their projects. With the STR, we have addressed these issues at the manufacturing stage, making the car far easier to put together for the novice builder.

Alongside producing the STR the company will also be offering a range of services to kit builders across the industry including a kit build up service, chassis & supension design & a GRP moulding & production service.
