“WORKS” RESTORATION OF EARLY EVENTER COMPLETED
An early Lynx Eventer (number 003) has received a Lynx “works” restoration to concours standards.
The Jaguar XJS coupe, which was converted by Lynx when new in 1983 had covered almost 200,000 miles and was in need of repair and refurbishment.
The project was commenced in March 2003 and took a total of seven months to complete. Historical information and original parts and patterns were available in-house at Lynx to ensure that the restoration was both visually and technically correct.
“Following our complete mechanical restoration of Lynx D-type L79-10 some two years ago, we were very pleased to receive instructions to carry out a “works” restoration to one of our Eventers”, commented Lynx Chairman, John Mayston-Taylor. “The owner wanted a “works” restoration to ensure that all aspects of the project were correct and carried out to the highest possible standards of quality of finish and attention to detail. We are pleased to have met and exceeded the standards set”.
Lynx technician, Stuart Carre, who originally converted the car to an Eventer in 1983, carried out much of the restoration work, which included all areas of the car including the body, all mechanical and electrical systems and the interior.
As with all Lynx projects, a complete technical and photographic record is produced for the owner and details of this project will also be published in specialist magazines.
