Peter, Congratulations on your Lynx and welcome to the Lynx Owners Club.
There are not too many of us out there. In fact I would like to know just how many belong to MLU members ( or others as well.) You have listed the hull number as 4225. There has been a bit of discussion lately as to the actual number built and the answer seems to be 3255.Can-Lynx-1-DennisBerkin.jpg So I am interested in coming to the correct number made and how your hull is 970 above the suggested number. My Lynx is a Canadian Scout Car Lynx I MkIII* Hull number 1726 built April 1943. It was the last registered of the 170 which came to Australia during WWII. ARN 123980.We have just about finished the restoration and I am about to put up a thread on the restoration. Regards Rick

Nice find, Peter.
Was the frame cut as well, or just the hull and how wide of a slice did they take out of it? David

Dave,
The frame was cut as well as the hull. Doesn't appear to be much missing material. I've started to remove and tag all the exterior items. Surprisingly a fair number of the bolts yield without too much effort. Once the frame is stripped, I'll be able to decide to repair or perhaps replace. Long ways to go yet. Peter

I did a fair bit of work on the Lynx in the Shilo collection. For the most part, the Lynx is not that different from working on a truck of that vintage. It is one of my favorite vehicles to drive out of the collection, and that says a lot. Hopefully a Lynx is in my future, but then again I have so many projects underway now I don't know in which decade I would fit it in.
Unless you happen to find a frame somewhere, I would suggest removing the hull and fishplating/welding the frame. I think the hull will add a lot of structural integrity to the frame, even if it wasn't 100% up to scratch.
