Before Jaguar had even brought their half-hearted cabriolet XJS-C to the market, Lynx were offering their customers the real thing...
With their workshops in St Leonards-on-Sea, Sussex, and a showroom in the Lexham Mews, Kensington, Lynx Engineering catered for the requirements of Jaguar-lovers who wanted something a bit special.
Founded in 1968 by Guy Black (former Chief Production Engineer of Westlake Engineering) to cater for the needs of owners of pre- and post-war sports racing cars, the company earned a great deal of respect and admiration for its formidable Jaguar D-Type replica launched in 1974 – no mere "conversion", that – Lynx went on to produce an equally-revered C-Type replica, drop-top conversions of both the XJ6 Coupe and the XJS, and the car for which they are probably best known – the sublime Lynx Eventer.
The company went into liquidation in 1992, but was rescued shortly afterwards and remains in business (at the time of writing) as Lynx Motors International Ltd.
