480 PTX Austin GipsyFleet No26 used as a runabout probably ex-Glamorgan (by registration) as Whitchurch Station was absorbed into Cardiff some time in the 60's. Looks like a long wheel base 4x4 model so possibly Series II. Not many about. Photo late 60's.

Thanks for another interesting bit of history!
My old home town fire brigade, Darlington, used a few Land Rovers and small 5 cwt vans as runabouts from time to time in the 1950s and 60s, but they did at least bother to get red painted ones!
You are right about the Gypsy. Too little, too late! Land Rover had already done everything the Gypsy tried to do, so that makes your photo a rather rare capture....
