• Only 7 Mk 3 Lynx FJ’s were made in period and this is only one with this unique specification.
• Ron Tauranac (designer of early Brabhams and dominant Ralts) designed the Lynx FJ and hence it is a very well thought-out and competitive FJ. Sister cars have taken overall honours at the Goodwood Revival and have been Lurani Class Champions.
• The specification enables it to run in the E2 Class. Given it is a very competitive car (e.g. class winner and class lap record holder at Oulton Park), it has the potential to win the Lurani and Silverline Championships outright, as well as Class honours.
• Being the last of only seven built it is quite a rare car and hence attracts interest for prestigious events such as the Goodwood Revival and the like.

• Everything is in date including a current HTP [exp: 31/12/2027]. It is ready to race, with tyres that have only done three meetings.
