Lynx Eventer XJS . Where are they all ?

Well I suppose I only have myself to blame for that Tony

To find one of the brochures is like looking for Hen's teeth. I have searched for 15 years and know where three are, but they are not selling. It is the only Lynx brochure I don't have I think.

Browsing through this thread if you go back to page 5 you'll find a post by dazr saying he owns an Eventer with blue crocodile seats. I contacted him but he was extremely cagey about the car, how he obtained it and whether he would sell it.

Well, after all the hoo-ha about the Gucci car the estimate was upped to £70-100,000 and then the car was withdrawn from the auction.

ETA:- We have gone through a period when the price of classic cars has rocketed and much money made. However, the projected sale price of these, nearly thirty years ago, was £100,000. No profit margin there then.

Number one had her first run out of the year last weekend - a pleasant 250 mile round trip down to Devon. Various bits are still being repaired/coaxed back into life after the "restoration" but the old girl turned plenty of heads along the way.
