Well today I was talking to people who know the story, it came from a base in Belgium which was closed contents of the base (less any weapons) were sold as surplus, to a Dutch dealer. Among the vehicles on the base was this Lynx and at least one other. The collector in the US made arrangements import papers to import both vehicles. He decided at the time not to buy the second one (something he later regretted) because it was not in as good condition as the one he did import. Next time I see the owner I'll try and get more information.
