Veteran-Edwardian-Vintage, May 1957
A Section Devoted to Old-Car Matters. THE Veteran Car Club has now lifted its ban on events for veteran cars using "basic" petrol and will open the season on May…
The Austin Motor Co. has introduced a new petrol/diesel cross-country vehicle, in outline somewhat resembling the Land-Rover, which is ten years its senior. This new vehicle, called the Gipsy, features four-wheel-drive and an ingenious system of Flexitor rubber suspension applied to all-round independent suspension. It is, we understand, absolutely untrue that in Solihull staunch Roverites are singing a new version of the old nursery rhyme: ––
“The wise farmer said,
‘I never should
Take my Gipsy
In the wood ‘.”
