Default Another Itallian Lynx

Guys,

I've been exchanging emails with Patrick Tedeschi, of Turin, Italy. He has just acquired a Lynx. Don't know about it's history or even the hull number.

Enjoy, Peter

Default Another in Italy

Peter, thanks for those. I also have just received an email from someone in Italy, Fabio Morra, who has also just found a Lynx over there. (Might be the same one with two mates). Hopefully there are two new ones. I will let you know when I know more.

Regards Rick.

Guys,

I signed up both Fabio and Patrick on this forum. Fabio posted his first message here http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=24863 and I was waiting for Patrick to post pictures of his Lynx. Not sure if it is the same Lynx they are talking about, but I'm sure we'll find out shortly.

Hanno

Default Thanks

Rick,

Great picture. Do you have any details about the unit and location? If I had to hazard a guess, I would opt for a New Zealand unit in Italy.

Peter

Default Visit and Question

Guys,

Back home from a great trip out West, had a fine visit by Brian Gough, Barry Churcher and Mel Norwick. Networking with CMP enthusiasts is one of the benefits of taking on a restoration such as my Lynx. The CMP stories and tales certainly boost the motivation.

While out West, my good friend, Doug Lavoie, shared some copies of the now expired magazine, Convoy. The attached picture and short article about this heavily modified Lynx certainly stoked my imagination. I would be very grateful should anyone have any additional information regarding this Lynx. Peter

Seeing that cut-down hill, I was thinking of Dirk Leegwater's Lynx. I looked up a photo but while it was cut down, it seems to be a different example.
