We just did a day return trip to Wellington to deliver another Raleigh 20 and a retro sofa to Wellington..the latter acted as a great bug catcher..which didnt look so good covered in implanted field bugs when arriving at the shop..stopped in Eketuna..scored a great aubergine retro sportscoat..and found the proverbial shite..

In Sanson on the way..giffer holiday..

 

then nr Pahiatua..which is where my Viva came from..Transitory nature..

 

then Eketuna..hey ho..another Transit..all good things in 3..

Isn´t the Austin Gipsy a Nissan Patrol? Looks the same, except the windshield.

[trigger]

It looks quite like a early Landcruiser to me, Certainly not like a Gipsy.

[Lukas]

I´d say Patrol:
