The team’s most noteworthy achievements were winning the 1956 24 Hours of Le Mans and 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans in Jaguar D-Types. Ecurie Ecosse cars were always distinctive in their Flag Blue Metallic paint with white nose band as seen in this Lister Jaguar.

“Suddenly there was an almighty howl of sound, a blast of wind, the whole car shook, and Masten went steaming past like a bat out of hell. He was well out in the lead with the Lister-Jaguar all sideways, his arms crossed up and fighting the steering. I remember having a sudden twinge of shock and thinking ‘To heck with this, if this is motor racing I’m going to give up now.’ It really put me off. I didn’t think anyone could drive a car as quickly as that.” – Formula One champion Jim Clark remarking on Masten Gregory racing the Lister Jaguar at Spa in 1959.
