1934 Nine Lynx project SOLD

I have accepted the inevitable that I just don't have the time needed to finish this car. I have owned the car for the last 32 years, it came to me as a fully dismantled "basket case".

The following work has been done

Chassis blasted and painted.
Front and rear axles rebuilt (bearings, kingpins etc.).
Steering box overhauled.
New front springs and rear springs overhauled.
all new shackle pins and links.
Gearbox rebuilt.
New clutch and thrust bearing.
Engine overhauled including fresh white metal, new cams. and gears, rebore and new pistons, valves and guides. replaced + new springs.
New exhaust with tubular manifold.
Twin 1" OM SU carbs.
90% of ash body frame replaced.
Body re-panelled in Aluminium.
Wings repaired.
New running boards.
New mahogany dash board.
Wheels re-spoked and powder coated.
New dry charged correct type battery (very expensive

Plus many more things I have forgotten over the last 30 years!


This car is an original Lynx not a converted saloon, I have all the old parts and panels as proof (to go with sale). I have collected virtually all the parts needed to complete it including all the really difficult bits. There are many parts included not shown in the pictures such as hood frame and side-screens, headlamp reflectors, speedo etc. The only major thing I can think of that is not with it is the dynamo.


With a bit of time and dedication the car could be on the road for the spring as the vast majority of the work needed is paint, trim and final tinkering, but with 6 other vehicles to keep on the road I don't have either.
