Riley 12/6 Lynx. (1933)
The original Lynx body on the 12/6 chassis was the 2-door version that had been launcehd on the nine and 14/6 a year earlier. However, it was not a strong seller, and soon displaced by the new 4-door version in 1934. Few records differentiate between the two styles, so it is hard to know exactly how many were built, although there are a small number of survivors.
