Brief chapter

Sir,

For the record, and contrary to the view expressed in the article on Brian Lister in the July issue, the Lister F2 was raced, at Goodwood in 1957. After just a few laps it retired, between Woodcote and the chicane, and I helped push it clear of the track. The reason for retirement was obvious a liberal coating of oil covering most of the body. The driver was Archie Scott Brown. Jenks photographed it ‘in situ’ for his annual on single-seater racing cars and that, I suspect, closed that chapter of its life.

I am yours etc,
