They were peppy little suckers compared to a 113. One of those oops moments
The 12eRBC had a rear deck for toboggans on some of their Lynxes. That would have been circa 1977-80. Nothing spectacular just 2" steel angle, but a clever idea that used the same bolt holes as other fittings like the lifting eyes. The rack overhung the rear panel completely.
