Now that is good. Hope those bonnet scoops means there’s a big turbo under there.

Might as well start with something common and cheap right?

I would have absolutely no problems using this as my daily ride.

SJ413 / Morris.

If BMC had made that , and maybe a Traveller version , the Range Rover might have never come about.

Spotted by my mate today in Farnborough, I think I've seen it posted in this thread before though.

They did make the Austin Gipsy, bodywork was all steel, independent suspension all round using "Flexitor" rubber springs developed by Alex Moulton - it used the BMC 2199 cc petrol engine; later diesel too. They made some long-wheelbase fully enclosed versions.

21,000 made and no competitor for the Land Rover. Rusty and thirsty - quite a nasty thing I remember. We had one.

Apparently made in NZ during the 60s using a Vauxhall Victor rear window

The Car BLMC should have made to replace the Mini Pick Up.

Wasn't that something to do with street machine ?

Custom Car IIRC - they did a competition in cahoots with BL, customised and gave away an Allegro, Princess and Sherpa

The Sherpa

The Allegro as I remember it - think that must be a different Princess
