Yes.

Must be in a dry country - I thought they'd all disintigrated into a pile of rust.
Not an exotic location - Isle of Wight - unless you consider the Fact that we crossed some water to be exotic..!!

So not Green Oval then....Austin Gypsy, never heard of themm...gonna research later....

Cheers chaps and chapettes - your font of knowledge is as always impressive.

TVM.

But for Land Rover only having aluminium available for the bodies they might have gone the same way as the Gypsy.
 
Gypsy never had a RR engine, that was the Champ 2.8 litre RR powered. Came out about the same time as the first Landrovers. So it was not a copy as someone said. But both were copies of the Jeep.
