The listing describes the car as being in excellent running order with good compression, suggesting it is mechanically sound. The brakes were historically rebuilt. However, there's little paperwork to verify this. The body is of steel construction, indicating it may have some wear. The MOT expired recently, suggesting it might need some attention to pass a new test. Overall, it's in solid condition with potential for minor reconditioning.

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.
