Austin picked the name with an "i" spelling rather than the normal "y" in gypsy. The Gipsy was visually similar to the Land Rover, ut unlike the Land Rover, he Gipsy's bodywork was steel. The suspension was sophisticated, ndependent suspension all round using Flexitor rubber springs, hich gave the Gipsy the ability to travel at high speeds over rough terrain. As an option, ater models offered leaf springs on the front and rear.It used a BMC 2199 cc petrol engine based on the one in the Austin A70; the compression ratio was 6.8:1, aking the petrol-powered vehicle tolerant of low octane fuel. A 2178 cc diesel-engined version was also offered.It was available initially in a 90-inch (2286 mm) wheelbase (later known as the Short wheelbase [SWB] version) to which was added a 111-inch (2819 mm) Long wheelbase (LWB) from Series II.With the merger of BMC and Leyland to form British Leyland, he Austin Gipsy and the Land Rover were then produced by the same company. Production of the Gipsy was stopped after around 21,208 vehicles had been sold.
