Lynx I MkIII purchase

Alastair,

The first post image shows an Australian ARN of 123921. A quick check of the register in AWM126:

shows:

ARN: 123921
Original engine: 3G92612F
Re-engined 1948 with 3G7712F
Hull Number 1920.

There is no disposal information listed.

All adds to what we know about your vehicle.

RE two fuel pumps: I had a CMP with both the mech and electric pumps, and as Rob said, saved a lot of cranking and overcame the vapour locking. The electric pump was controlled by a switch on the dash - there is a space for the Autopulse switch on the CMP cash panel, but in Australia, it was not used. I think it was a requirement for CMPs supplied to India (?) Hence, the autopulse pump was only activated as needed, not all the time. I also had a flick switch that delivered 6V to the coil just for starting, rather than 4.5 V - made a big difference, too.

Thanks everyone. I can see the advantage of two pumps. I assume that the electric pump was just for the Indian market as was the case with the F60S (if the maintenance manual is anything to go by).

Mike, Mike Ebeling gave full credit to you for furnishing him with the correct ARN and the history of the vehicle. You will see it displayed in the picture above. Thank you.

That's nice. Can't say I remember providing that, but I get a couple of inquiries a week, so it is easy to lose track. Must have been a while ago, I think.

Regards

Mike

Hi Mike,
As I recall, this Lynx made its debut at the W&P show at Beltring in 1999. I know this date because two AMVCS club members, Geoff Denniss and Tom Rolfe were over that year and they took great interest in seeing it in Australian markings. As that was 20 years ago, you can be forgiven for not recalling the enquiry!

regards, Richard
