Lynx Formula Junior - any other owners on here?

Hi all. First post - probably in the wrong sub-forum.

Just bought a 1961 Lynx FJ car - with an interesting engine.

Looking forward to getting its HTP papers sorted and giving it one or two outings before the season ends.

Looks like really interesting racing - amazed at the lap times really for 1960s cars with just 1100 cc to play with.

I hope so.

Looking forward to some racing and tinkering with the car.

Sadly Revival is only once every 4 years for drum brakes/rear engine and I missed invite window by 3 weeks - so I have a LONG wait!

Welcome to the forum John!

I'm looking at the pics on an iPad and the engine isn't very clear.... Looks a flat twin?

Borgward water cooled, alloy flat four.

I have lots of pics - but don't want to bore the non-Lynx, non-Borgward fans!!

Thanks for the clarification! Pics are good, especially when the car is a type not on most people's radar.......
