Formerly known as ListerBell Automotive, L B Specialist Cars was established in early 2010, with a view to manufacturing the STR - a modern day interpretation of the world championship winning rally car, the Lancia Stratos. The company was founded by Craig White, who has been involved with the sports car industry since 1989 and has a wide range of experience in specialist car construction, chassis development, fabrication and composites. He has with some of the biggest names in the industry including Ultima Sports Cars Ltd, Seven inspired replicas, Cobras, T70's, Stratos replicas and finally Stealth racing cars.
Rather than trying to create a 'rivet replica', the decision was made to create a car which would reflect the advances in engineering over the four decades since the original car was launched, whilst paying homage to the original Lancia Stratos.
L B Specialist Cars is currently building and supplying the STR in various configurations from their premises in north Nottinghamshire.
