Riley 14/6 Lynx 4-door. (1934)

The 1933 14/6 Lynx was of the original 2-door design, however for 1934 the new 4-door version was launched. This saw the end of the 'disappearing hood' due to the redesigned rear bodywork and the addition of doors presumably weakening the structure of the body.
It was one of the more successful models produced on the 14/6 chassis, certainly amongst the open top variants, with over 100 of the 1934 model probably built. However, it was short lived, as it was replaced for 1935 by the new 15/6 Lynx. The engine was still avaialble as an option, but no examples have been identified.
