Lister boss Lawrence Whittaker first tweeted a single teaser image showing the profile of the new Knobbly last month. Now, he just gave us a much better look at his company’s new sports car.

Also visible in this image are circular headlights, large rear wheel arches, and a set of lovely buttresses.
