Gerry is well known around the rallying and racing fraternity and as stated by Mark Oastler in the Shannon Club News - "Volvo stalwart Gerry Lister racing his 122S two-door at Sydney’s Warwick Farm in 1966 (relates to photo) . This RHD car had been specially prepared for competition use by the factory in Sweden, featuring a powerful 140 bhp engine, close-ratio gearbox, uprated suspension and big 18-gallon (82-litre) fuel tank. It could do 120 mph (190km/h) and had excellent fuel economy. Scuderia Veloce boss David McKay and Bill Orr drove it to outright victory in the 1966 Lowood 4 Hour race in Queensland, winning by more than a lap from strong GT 500 Cortina and BMC competition. Sadly it was destroyed in a big crash during practice for the 1968 Surfers Paradise 12 Hour race."
