1958 Lister Knobbly Navigation
This 1958 Lister Knobbly Chevrolet chassis BHL 18 is the serial number unmistakably stamped into the true 1958 'Knobbly' - style chassis of this authentic Lister-Chevrolet BHL 118/BHL18. It was supplied new to accept a Chevrolet V8 engine by Brian Lister (Light Engineering) Ltd, Abbey Road, Cambridge - to Carroll Shelby Sports Cars Inc, Dallas, Texas.
A distinct feature of the Knobbly was its low frontal area which required a huge hump to clear the engine. With protruding fenders, the car became distinctly known as the Knobbly.
The car was painted in blue livery and supercharged at one stage. The enormous supercharger protruded so far above the bonnet, that the American press referred to it as 'the tower of power.' Since forward visibility was already somewhat limited by the large wheel and power bulges, this must have been a seriously challenging vehicle to drive quickly.
