Ive just pick up my new project for the winter. Its a bit of a 'marmite' scooter the Serveta Lince/lynx, i hated them at the time, but now i quite like them :)
Its a bit rougher than i thought, as i brought it from a couple of pictures :oops:

Im not sure what im going to do yet ? either restore or rustore ? ill strip it and make my mind up them :) either way it wont be a std engine :evil:
There are a few wits than are missing or need replacing, so if anyone is holding any lince/lynx bit ??? main one so far are.....complete seat lock and mechanism, rear light and front mudguard.

Hi Russell,

Did that scoot arrive via Ireland? Any of your lot doing the four nations next weekend?
That needs a sympathetic resto and a big motor! 8-)

Best of luck with it Hicksy.

get rid of that stand at least, belongs to sumat else lol.

proper dampers tho. I had a seat cover like that too on a Jet.

you like mats I see. If it was mine I'd change headset/mudguard/horncast to Jet stylee.

Russ, give us a hint on plans for engine (spec) pls. oh is matt black an option haha.

Russ, please keep it as it is :D .

The proper seat is so so comfy. I have a front mudguard but with a chunk missing out of one edge. Looks like yours is better but you're welcome to if you need. I did have quite a few other spares but I ebayed nearly all of them about a year ago.

Oh, and Scooterotica holds no place for Italianised Lynxes. It's the law :P
