Nice Lynx on MilWeb:

1942 Ford Lynx MK 1

img_10752.jpg

Extremely rare Lynx MK 1 serial # 23. Vehicle is a complete frame off restoration completed in 2012, all the components have been inspected bearings, seals, engine, gearbox etc. have been replaced or rebuilt. The original engine has been rebuilt however, a rebuilt 1951 Mercury V-8 Flathead was installed rather than risk excessive wear on the original engine. The original engine is part of sale and vehicle is in excellent condition. As far we know there are only 2 or 3 Mk 1's in the world and this may be the earliest running MK 1. We can help with shipping from Vancouver BC. Serious inquiries only please.

a lot of local history on that rig, sad to see it advertised for sale. Brooks Health is not good and Olin is putting it up for sale. Needs a lot of TLC and finishing but it runs and Brook did all the heavy metal.

sold in B.C. post war and used by a logging company north of Stave Lake for a number of years. It was a water based operation so no road in or out and when the logging was finished it was abandoned along with a lot of other trucks. Then about 1985 or so a local collector found it and over two summers his kids and him stripped it, cut it into smaller pieces and brought it down the lake 15kms in a 12 foot boat with an outboard motor. Used MT oil drums to float the hull out.
Kept it together for years and then it went to its present owner who put it all back together and fabricated a lot of missing armor and parts.

Sound like a very interesting recovery story - wish we could see pics!

I wonder why the lynx is not advertised locally or even here on MLU? Any idea on a price Harry?
