It was the one on the right, but mine was red, not yellow! I remember the chrome headlights were prone to damage... Thanks for the memory! Cheers, Lewis
You're welcome Lewis! That's a lovely lots of toys on that Etsy picture. The buggy you mention is a cracker! It looks really big. I bet it was an impressive toy hurtling round the house ... or beach! Cheers, Woodsy.
Slight problem - the second model is not an Austin Gipsy, it is a Jeep. The Gipsy looked liked a Land Rover with a distorted front end. The model seems to be left hand drive, but the figure is sitting on the right.
This post cleared a fog from my childhood memories! I had a dune buggy version very similar to this and when I Googled it, I cam up with a pic!
