Riley 12/6 Lynx. (1934-35)

1934 Riley 12/6 Lynx

The revised 12/6 Lynx for 1935 was now a proper 4-door, 4-seater tourer, replacing the original 2-door version. The change only increased the popularity of the model, although it was phased out with the rest of the 12/6 range in 1935 to make way for the new 12/4 engined models.
