Description
Showing
only 26,793 miles; British off-road vehicle; rare and ready to be
enjoyed
The Austin Gipsy is a rugged British off-road vehicle
produced by Austin, designed as a direct competitor to the Land Rover, aimed at
both civilian and military markets. Featuring a 2,199cc petrol engine driving a
four-wheel drive system with high and low range.
This
example has spent the last 10 years on display in a well-known north Wales based
Land Rover specialist (Jones Brothers) alongside a very early series 1 Land
Rover. The
rare and more desirable SWB Pickup version with drop down tailgate and easily
removable fiberglass canopy.
The
vendor has informed us that the petrol engine was fully rebuilt around 10 years
ago and is in excellent running order with good compression. The 4x4 system is
fully operation including low and high gearbox. The brakes were all historically
rebuilt but unfortunately there’s little paperwork to back this as it was all
done in house to a good standard.
The
body is of steel construction with around 21,000 units built, only
being sold due to the closure of the vendors business and subsequent lack of
storage space.
The
MOT expired in July 2024 but has only covered 33 miles since last
tested.
Has
been starting and running on site, ready to be enjoyed.
