Great vintage Austin Gipsy. This is a project. You are starting with a rare vehicle. The possibilities are unlimited. Look at the pictures. The good is that it is a strong 15 on the "neat scale" of 1 to 10. The bad is rust in the rocker areas. The rest is very sound. There is the result old elephant hit on the right front fender. The entire exhaust system is missing from the manifold back. Also, the gas tank and some of the dash parts. The engine does turn by hand, the car rolls and the tires hold air. Sound just about perfect! I have never tried to start it and have no idea of the condition of any of the running gear. I have collected some bits and pieces, switches, carb kit, filters, manual, etc. It had a Nevada title when it was purchased. I started the registration process here in North Carolina. The next step was to take it to a state inspector to verify the VIN number. I would have to trailer it to an appointment. I have never done this and don't plan on it. I looked at this as a long term project and saw no point, until it was near enough to completion. The steering wheel in the picture is from another Austin and is a little larger. I removed the carb to clean and t he leather parts were dust. I purchased a very complete kit from "Carb Junkys" and it awaits your careful hand. The parts on the fender were all purchased through Ebay. I was amazed at the parts that were available for the jewel. The oil filters were from FLAPS (O' Reilly). $300.00 by Paypal within 24 hours of end of auction.
