LYNX COMPLETES ANOTHER EVENTER WORKS' RESTORATION
Following the
concours restoration of Eventer No 3, Lynx Motors International has recently
completed a works’ restoration of Eventer No 30.
The car, which was
converted when new for its Dutch owner, returned to Lynx almost 20 years later
to the day, to have restoration works carried out for the son-in-law of its
original owner.
The car has been in
the same family ownership since new and continues to be used on a daily basis in
Europe.
Specific instructions
were made with regard to retaining the exact colour of paintwork and retaining
unique features ordered when new.
“The Eventer has a
great deal of sentimental value within the family and our children are now
taking an interest in their grandfather’s special car”, enthused the owner
following the restoration work. “It is also very special to have this work
carried out by the same person who converted the car originally. We were even
provided with copies of original correspondence between my father-in-law and
Lynx. There is nothing quite like a works’ restoration”.
Lynx specialist
Stuart Carre was surprised and flattered to see the car return after so many
years. “It is interesting to see the changes that have been made during the
production of the Eventer”, commented Stuart, who has been involved with the
Lynx Eventer since its inception in 1983.
