unidentified dune buggy

Sorry, got lost in the looking and forgot to post for a couple days. Will get back at it with this photo I bought at a antique store. I was thinking/hoping it was John Haftner, but I don't think so. He did drive dune buggies initially but I can't find anything that associates him with this "lynx" buggy.

I also thought hill climb when I saw the snow fence behind the vehicle but it could just as easily be a solo parking lot event.

And it doesn't have to be from the Greater Vancouver area.

So all I can say for sure it that it's unidentified.

Back when Annacis Island wasn't full of industry. 1969 ad.
