Rich,

By some over here, they are regarded as superior to a Land Rover, but never having had direct experience of the Gypsy, I cannot comment. A lot of survivors here were those released from Civil Defence Corps storage, with very low mileage on them. The hood on the one shown must be homemade, never seen one like that on a Gypsy before.
