The Lister D is a 1.5 - 2.5hp stationary engine on petrol or petrol/paraffin (fuel) built between 1926-1965 by R A Lister and Company of Dursley. It is popular with newcomers to the stationary engine hobby with un-restored examples available for as little as £100, plenty of spares and various re-manufactured parts and decals. It replaced the Lister H, which was of a similar output. The first Lister D engine serial number 80,000 was assembled on the 26th October, 1926. The engine in the early days was a rival to the Ruston Hornsby PB, the Bamford EV1, the short-lived Fowler P series
