Description:

 A rare opportunity to purchase a sensibly priced Formula Junior restoration project. This car was fully restored in 1999 back in Australia and more recently dismantled for a further rebuild after regular competition use. It was shipped to the UK in its dismantled state and then loosely  assembled as per the pictures. 

Lynx engineering in Australia began manufacturing Formula Junior racing cars back in 1961 having acquired the patterns and jigs for the early Ralt cars from Ron Tauranac when he moved to England to work withJack Brabham. Lynx built approximately 20 cars during 1961 and 1962.

Chassis FJ104 was completed  27/4/1961 as a rolling chassis and purchased by the Service Manager for Repco. He installed a BMC A series engine and VW transmission. The engine was originally 998cc but subsequently bored to 1074cc. The history of the car is basically complete with period photographs, letters from previous owners, historic classified adverts for the sale of the car, CAMS documents, history of lynx cars and race programs etc.

The previous owner has blast cleaned and painted the chassis frame and I have loosely re-assembled the car to check all major components are present. The original VW gearbox appears to be in excellent condition. The engine will need a complete rebuild depending on the specification you desire but it comes with the correct BMC/VW adapter plate, rare Lynx rocker box cover and Lynx inlet manifold together with Weber carb.

This is a rare Formula Junior and as such would be an ideal candidate for entry into the prestige events such as Monaco and Goodwood historic events.
