An Austin Gipsy in France


In the beautiful south of France, not far from Nîmes, Philippe has owned this Austin Gipsy and driven it on his private land for quite a few years now.  A while ago he wrote to us:" The car is of course quite a bit rusty....(1960 !), the engine is running well, the broken petrol tank has been replaced by a glass fiber one, I still use it at least one day every week with satisfaction...but some work has to be done to make it more reliable...!! as I said, because of my great age (70 next week....!)  a restoration program is no consideration, so I decided to give it to a younger  fan of Gipsy...!"

To us this gipsy doesn't look too rusty at all to be rescued and we're happy to tell you that a new owner has now taken over this car.
