Engine Provenance

Lister supercharged 5.0-litre V8, derived from the Jaguar F-Pace SVR platform and extensively reworked at the factory in Cambridge. The final output figure is achieved through a recalibrated supercharger pulley, revised ECU mapping, and a bespoke stainless exhaust system.

Chassis Integrity

The F-Pace SVR platform is retained and comprehensively uprated. Adaptive Dynamics are recalibrated for the additional torque; springs, dampers and anti-roll bars are revised. This specific car carries the full polybush suspension upgrade as fitted at manufacture — an uncompromising chassis specification.

The Machine
Lister Stealth — front three-quarter

Lister Stealth.
The Mandate.

The Lister Stealth is not a cosmetic exercise. Every element of this car — from the widened carbonfibre body to the recalibrated drivetrain — exists to serve a single purpose: to deliver the most capable, most visceral expression of the Jaguar F-Pace architecture that Lister could produce within a build run of exactly one hundred vehicles.

This example is specified in full factory trim with the addition of the polybush complete suspension upgrade. The alloy coolant pipe uprate was carried out as a preventative measure at first service. The complete modification record is maintained here, in this document.

Curatorial Philosophy

How This Car Is Kept.

A limited-production car of this character demands a specific approach to ownership. Three governing principles shape every decision made in the custody of this machine.

Preventative, Not Reactive

Every mechanical decision made on this car has been executed ahead of requirement — not in response to a failure. The alloy coolant pipes, the polybush suspension, the service intervals — all done early and to specification.

Originality Preserved

This car carries only factory-authorised modifications. Nothing has been added that cannot be substantiated, and nothing has been removed. The full factory specification is maintained intact alongside the subsequent documented upgrades.

Complete Documentation

Every aspect of this car's custody — from delivery mileage to service intervals to photographic evidence — is recorded here. This site is the living record of the machine: updated as events occur, and accurate at all times.

First weekend with the
Lister Stealth.

Its first public weekend — and straight out into the real world. The first weekend included runs to Caffeine & Machine The Hill and Caffeine & Machine The Hut, with fresh photographs now added to the record. Early impressions are exactly what you would hope for — presence, theatre, and serious pace.

The Next Custodian

The Sale.

After a custodianship documented in full from acquisition to the present day, the Stealth is offered for sale at auction via Collecting Cars.

This is not a distress sale and the car wants for nothing. It enters the auction freshly serviced (May 2026, 20,600 miles), professionally prepared, and photographed in a dedicated session for the sale record.

Everything recorded on this site passes with the car: the complete history folder — every invoice, certificate and service record, including the alloy coolant-pipe uprate and the factory polybush specification — the V5C and full documentation set, and the complete photographic archive.

Continuation of this website — the living record itself — can be discussed with the successful bidder.

The record is the point. Most cars of this rarity are sold on a seller’s say-so; this one is sold on evidence.

Questions & Context

Frequently Asked.

Lister limited the Stealth to exactly one hundred examples worldwide, each built by hand at their Cambridge facility. The figure is not a marketing constraint — it reflects the capacity of the coachbuilding process. Each car receives a bespoke widened carbonfibre body, revised aero package, and a fully recalibrated Jaguar F-Pace SVR drivetrain. The build sequence means every car is slightly individual. There are no further production runs planned. When the one hundred are built, the Stealth ends. The production run was announced at one hundred; the number actually completed is understood to be considerably lower, and is currently being confirmed directly with the Lister Motor Company. This record will be updated when written confirmation is received.
The standard plastic coolant pipe assembly on the F-Pace SVR — and by extension the Stealth — is a known service item. It does not fail universally, but when it does, it fails at elevated temperatures under sustained load. For a car used energetically on public roads, the thermal and mechanical stresses are meaningfully higher than routine commuter use. Replacing the plastic assembly with an alloy unit removes the failure mode entirely. This car had the replacement carried out as a preventative measure, not in response to any sign of deterioration. The logic is simple: the cost of the part is trivial relative to the cost of an overheating event on a limited-production car.
The factory rubber suspension bushes are compliant by design — they absorb noise and isolate the chassis from road inputs. Polybush polyurethane replacements reduce that compliance significantly, resulting in more precise steering feedback, more consistent handling at the limit, and greater resistance to chassis flex under load. The trade-off is a marginally firmer ride on poor surfaces. For a car producing 881 Nm and capable of 195 mph, the improved precision is the correct engineering choice. This car was specified with the full polybush upgrade at the factory — it was not added retrospectively, and it is part of the car's documented original specification.
The governing principle is simple: no known failure mode should be left unaddressed. In practice, this means identifying every component with a documented service life or known degradation pattern and replacing it before any symptom appears. The coolant pipe uprate is one example. Brake fluid intervals, tyre age limits, and transmission service schedules are treated the same way. The result is a car that has never suffered a preventable mechanical event. Every intervention is documented here, with the rationale recorded alongside the date and mileage. The car should be in mechanically superior condition on the day it leaves this ownership as on the day it arrived.
The March 2026 visit to Lister's Cambridge facility provided factory-level inspection: a full vehicle health check was carried out and passed. A further service and mechanical check, including a remap software update, was completed in May 2026 at 20,600 miles. All service work has been carried out through authorised Jaguar and Lister specialist facilities with full documentation retained. The photographic record maintained on this site constitutes the visual verification of the car's condition at each documented date.
Caffeine & Machine is a car and culture destination with two venues in the English Midlands — The Hill and The Hut — which has established itself as one of the most respected informal gatherings for enthusiast vehicles in the country. It attracts a discerning audience: owners who care about the cars they bring, not simply how expensive they are. The Stealth's first public weekend used both venues deliberately. The environment tests how the car presents in the real world, in front of people who know what they are looking at. The photographs from that weekend are now part of the permanent record on this site.
The curator’s next chapter is built around a very different kind of vehicle, and a car of this character deserves to be used, not stored. The sale is deliberate and unhurried. The Stealth leaves this custodianship exactly as the philosophy demanded: in mechanically superior condition to the day it arrived, with every intervention evidenced.
