This 1961 Austin Gipsy is a right-hand drive Series 2 fire tender powered by a 2.2-liter inline-four mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox and 2-speed selectable transfer case. The truck was inherited by the seller from his father and comes fitted with an onboard water pump, ladder, hoses, tools, and more. This Gipsy is located in Herefordshire, England and offered with a registration certificate in the seller’s name.

The Gipsy was employed as a fire tender by a number of municipal departments across the UK in the 1960s. This example features a steel body finished in red with a beige soft top and rides on black steel wheels with polished center caps and period-style knobby tires.

A fully functional Coventry Climax “Godiva” water pump is mounted just forward of the grille and features dual output nozzles. Additional firefighting equipment includes hoses, tools, lights and sirens, and a roof-mounted folding ladder.

The cabin is equipped with a painted steel dashboard and door panels as well as a vinyl-covered bench seat that can accommodate three passengers up front. Controls for the lights, flashers, ignition, and mechanical choke are mounted below the center of the folding windshield. Just under 3,600 miles are displayed on the 5-digit odometer.

The cargo area is rigged to carry an onboard water tank, additional hoses, spools, unions, nozzles, and other equipment along with two inboard-facing jump seats at the rear corners. All equipment is said to be functional.

The gasoline-powered 2.2L Austin inline-four was factory rated at 62 horsepower with 110 lb-ft of torque and is linked to the rear or all four wheels through a 2-speed selectable transfer case.

Several gallery photos are provided to illustrate the condition of the chassis, underbody, and suspension components.
