I own a Lynx Twin cam, which is a Toyota Powered, Triumph Herald based Kit made in the style of a Lotus 7, there were only about 50odd made so its actualy a rare car.
Any other Kit car owners out there? it would be great to compare notes?

I'd really like to, but time, money, space, and a million other reasons prevent me from doing so. About two years ago a few buddies and I pooled a few grand together to buy an assembled (but no engine) 917 kit. It was badass, painted in blue and orange just like the Gulf ones, but unfortunately by the time we got in contact with the guy it was sold. Damn.

can we c a pic of your kit car?

Yeah, I'm curious too to see this Lynx. Got any pics Moppie?

Hi there, We too have just added a 'triumph Lynx' to our garage, and are wondering about the history, and componentory set up, ie where was it built etc. Ours is also running a toyota twin cam, 1600, and has a five speed celica gear box on a Triumph Herald. Wev'e been looking for two weeks, and this is the first site we have come by that has any mention of the Lynx Kit Car. Any info you are able to forward would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers, Carol & Ziggy :smokin:

visit the above for pics of mine. Comments and questions welcome.

I think I got red X'd but if not.......

Mine's on the right. The black one is a real Countach, but Euro-Works (the manufacturer of mine) is accurate in every detail.

Hi there, we have one too, with a datsun A12 motor, there are about 2 others in the club (sports car club of NZ, www.sccnz.co.nz). i'll be doing a body off-restore this winter.

Hi, I have Chevron Kit car,Toyota powered with a 3SGE, this car was built in 1990 and I purchased it a few months ago. Have spent quite a few hours rebuilding it and have joined the sccnz, and looking forward to my first race day coming up in June. It is registered for the road and is a blast to drive, plan to do some testing days first before race day so as not to make a complete egg of myself.

Any other Kit car owners out there? it would be great to compare notes? Hi , I am the owner of what we suspect is number 2 of the 100 Lynx kits made in Auckland. My car at the moment is off the road as the original chassis rusted out, it was taken off the road approx 8 years ago. The Lynx kits were made in Auckland and as my father was one of the original owners, as well as doing the upholstery for the majority of them, it would be great to track these cars down. My car has the original Triumph Herald 13/60 motor and is Red, with the old floorpan. Are any of the other LYNX owners out there interested in getting together with other owners? I am wanting to track down other owners with a view to re-forming the Lynx Car Club. At the very least Would be fantastic to track down all the remaining cars.

I have just purchased a lynx. It is on a truimph chassis. powered by a modified 2ltr SOHC Datsun, skyline gearbox and diff. Just had wet weather gear made for it so it can be a bit more user friendly. Fun to drive am looking forward to doing a trackday sometime.

Another new Lynx owner here - Powered by Celica 1600GT (2TG twincam, twin sidedrafts, 5-speed) with a Datsun 180B diff, otherwise 1965 Herald. Busily rebuilding the engine over summer - it had been replaced with a clapped out pushrod version and an ugly hole cut to let the carb poke out the top! Lynxgal - I've sent you an email re: the register.

I own a Fiberfab Aztec 7. Lots of fun to drive!! Here's more info:
