Shires Lynx With All Original Parts

This Shires Lynx and TWYFORDS Classic bowl came as a shock, I was at a garden centre, and I decided to hunt out the toilet, found it and looked at the bowl first as I usually do, a TWYFORDS classic, then looked up and I saw the cistern. A Shires Lynx with all it's original parts, the lift arm and the grip pull. Rounded bottom with flat top.

And of course, I really couldn't wait to flush it. The sound is really good, and the pressure.

I am doing this video by Windows Movie Maker so I can show it to you as my video lag problem doesn't seem to get sorted.

Sorry about some of the photos coming out blurry.

As said at the end of the video, this toilet can be found at the Ise Garden Centre. In/near Kettering.

But did you look in the cistern.

@dauntless486 Yep

Looks pretty old.

[ramdomness453]

Yes, the bowl is a very old one, Twyfords in capital letters are the oldest batches, then there is a handwritten one, the current one is Twyford without an "s" and in normal typing. My favourite has to be the capital/block lettered one. The cistern is a gem though, Shires Lynx are getting rarer now, especially with all the original parts. :(

Thats a good vid youve put up,enjoyed the add ons,ie the graphics/photos/end credits also,like a little film.

I found out these have gold rings on them so this doesn't have all it parts on. Really nice flush on this one

I always look at the cistern fist. Not as clued up about pans myself.

Excellent! I remember as a kid many public toilets were the Shires Lynx/ Twyfords Classic combination (odd that you rarely saw Shires pans with Lynx's!). But getting rerer and rarer as they are replaced, usually by the dull, concealed AS contours. The Lynx cisterns now have to be "Monitored" as they are made of Acrylic Resin strengthened with Amosite (Brown) Asbestos (which I never knew till recently). So increasingly cheaper just to replace.
