Look what I saw in a public parking lot.
This is a Lynx kit car that is very similar to a Morgan +4 car.
The Morgan cars have an interesting history, and I had a look at some of their original cars. I think that this Lynx was based on one of the 1960s models.
Main article: Morgan +4
The Morgan +4 was introduced in 1950 as a larger-engined ("plus") car than the 4/4. The +4 initially used the 2,088 cc (127.4 cu in) Standard Vanguard engine and at introduction sold for £625 (two-seater) or £723 (coupé).
The +4 used Triumph TR2 (in 1953),[39] TR3 (1956),[39] or TR4A engines (until 1969). Plus 4 production was suspended in 1969 but brought back in 1985 with a Fiat engine (1985–1988) and then a 4-cylinder Rover engine (1988–2000). Production was again suspended and the Plus 4 returned once more in 2004 with a 155 bhp (116 kW; 157 PS) Ford 4-cylinder.
From October 1965 to April 1967 Morgan produced the two-seat +4 Competition, of which only 42 were built, about 11 of which survive.
Although I like to see all of the old cars here driving around in the roads, the Lynx is one of my favorites, as they remind me of the caracal cats. I had some experiences with a live caracal during my childhood on a farm. They have very strong back legs that enable them to jump very high and I saw a caracal jumping up to take a bird out of a tree. They are great hunters and very rare these days.
So, the car has a great look, and I am sure that the owner has much fun driving around with it, especially on a hot day with the top down. We have some classic car clubs here, and a good friend of mine restores many old cars that are brought to him. I have posted some of his cars in the past. Whenever I see an old car on the road, I post photos of it, as I am fascinated by these cars and their stories.
Such is life.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
