Possibly an Austin Gypsy? (Not sure, cannot find any good sources of pictures so far) Not an expert...but this does not look like Land Rover. |

Yes Austin Gypsy, the first on this site I think. Confirmed by wheel arch shapes....other 4X4 experts could know more? Picture below of similar vehicle....I guess it was developed from the Austin Champ military 4X4 but it was never a success. http://www.classic-wheels.co.uk/old_austin_gypsy.htm -- Last edit: 2006-05-08 20:43:26 |

I doubt there are many that have survived. .gif ":)") Made from steel unlike the aluminium bodied Land Rovers. |

Exciting to see that one! The Austin Gipsy was in production from 1958-68. It started with the Series One and only 90" short wheelbase. A 111" long wheelbase was added with the Series Two in 1960, followed by the Series Four (yes, no Series Three!) in 1962. With the Series Four a more conventional suspension with semi-elliptic springs and beam axles became available as an alternative to the Flexitor independent suspension system. If I see it right this one is a Series Four with beam axles. The full name would therefore be 'Austin Gipsy G4 M10' (1962-68). M10 stands for 10 cwt loading capacity. The LWB model had 15 cwt and was accordingly called M15. A few are still arround: http://www.austingipsy.net -- Last edit: 2006-05-08 21:57:46 |

According to the http://www.austingipsy.net site there is another Austin Gipsy appearing in this TV series. http://www.austingipsy.net/work.html And this is probably the original vehicle shown here: http://www.austingipsy.net/images/kevg4i.jpg http://www.austingipsy.net/series4b.htm My eyes didn't deceive me!  |

It could do with a little spit and polish... I think the Gipsies were exported in numbers to Switzerland and Austria. It is a pity they are so rare today! |
