Topic: Solved: Djetset #306 - Lyncar coupe

[Djetset]

This may look like a respost of a puzzle I placed recently, but it's a completely different car, so any ideas for a point?

[Djetset]

So..?

Lister?

[Djetset]

No.

British - if not the picture was taken in the UK then...

[Djetset]

Yes, it is British.

DIY car?

[Djetset]

If by DIY you mean kit car, then yes it is.

One day, this will also end up in the hands of some Professionals

Lynncar? (not sure about the spelling and haven't any references to hand)

[Djetset]

Well done; it is the Lyncar (with only one 'n') made in Slough, England in the late 1980s/early 90s.  The point is yours.

For any Pros watching, I was about to move this one up a level, but an Experts got there first.  Sorry!

What kind of engine did it have??

[Djetset]

From memory it was a choice of either a Jaguar 6 or 12-cylinder, or a European Ford V6 (2.8 or 3.0-litre).

Was it made by Lyncar Motor Company or other manufacturer?

[Djetset]

I believe it was the Lyncar Motor Company.

I remember that Martin Slater of the Lyncar Motor Company was involved with Wilt Chamberlain's Searcher One project in 1996, there are certainly similarities with the designs!
