Well spotted sir! Nor should it have indicators, but both of those have gone now (indicators in the headlight nascelle and the tail lights) so it looks much better. On the subject of replicas, (it's a Lynx of course, not having won the lottery) I saw a "Lynx Replica" advertised so beetled along to see it. As a tip of the hat to Lynx, someone had taken a glass fibre mould of a Lynx and made a car, so I guess it should have been advertised as a "Replica Lynx Replica"! Does this look better? I've even airbrushed out the extinguisher handle and big red "E" sign.




ETA: in case you are wondering, approaching Dunlop Bridge at Le Mans.

Ahaha!, now that is the ticket. It would be hard to know whether that was this year of 1955. Marvellous. The Lynx machines were made not from me, in fact I believe they started the business in Tenterden Kent before moving to Hastings? Great machines, i would love one. I have a black and white brochure for a Lynx D Type somewhere I bought on E bay....maybe worth something one day!

Could be really old...but actually taken at Classic Le Mans 2010.

Making it Sepia might improve it a bit more?

Problem is the armco and wire fencing, if it was really old there would be potograpers and spectators sitting on straw bales along the edge of the trach

It would, but stick-on numbers are very much now, and "in period" would involve a cloth cap, rather than (even) an open face helmet.

They had cameras that could focus in the old days you know.
