A long way from "home" and in need of work....

Walnut dash on RHD convertibles started at about chassis 1740 according to Calver and there were 9 RHD cars listed after that plus at least 4 S4 RHD convertibles chassis 2002, 2004, 2005 &2012 which had a walnut dash...so James may well be right. Many have been retro fitted to confuse the pictur...

No doubt someone will see some value in this..... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156177476600?itmmeta=01HWK1D87TWAVYQCJ57TXC4DG2&hash=item245ce72bf8:g:x2oAAOSw-0pmJcut&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4E1d0M%2BrcNtjqo4fIjSBTnGf%2FyKfcyssP3wbNnTl6%2FlBfT0K7McPa0WirBhGnK6nmjMGQdgwYNS0MngDWV4o4CSM17Usn%2FNDPql...

As I understand it, Lynx was a Company that was asked to create an improved hood mechanism for the 1990's convertibles. I presume it was to help it sit lower which seems to be the major complaint with the Jensen design....not helped when using a mohair top as opposed to the everflex vinyl type? Jens...

The word crashed comes to mind. Removing the sidelights/indicators and replacing the side marker lights with repeater lights must also have seemed a good idea to someone. The vendor is having no more luck selling this than he is his convertible it seems. The price point may also need addressing.....

No I do not recognise it. As Lynx were involved I would guess it has some Jag parts involved somewhere although the electrically operated latches may be Saab???? I hate the closing panel...and what are the presss studs for? The micro-switch in the centre looks equally cheap IMHO as does the handle. ...

The text (i think) does not specify RHD cars only. There are those who have tried to track all convertibles over the years and the most up to date view is probably here: https://www.jensencars.be/int.%20mk%20iii%20vin%201000%20-%201099.html Some of the RHD 2340 chassis numbers are certainly abroad n...

A single opening commission bid of £10k and no other interest...so the auctioneer "passed" on the lot.

Not sure why they opted for the Lynx hood...it looks worse than an original IMHO.

"The opportunity to purchase one of these cars is very rare, just 12 cars are understood to remain in the UK "

Really?
