Congratulations buddy . Seems you got a real well maintained vehicle. That color is quite unique too.

Can you share the model year and the price paid for it? How many kms run? I have been looking for a Gypsy King in a decent condition and they are so hard to come by

Do share more pics of your ride. Any modifications planned?

^^ Thank you. This sure is a well maintained car. Took it out for some off roading and boy did it perform. This is the first Civilian Gypsy I have seen in green (OEM).
This is a Oct 2000 model and I got it for 2L. Was a first owner, owned by a 67 year old Car Lover. The car has done about 40k kms. I was in search of one for over 2 months and kept on refreshing OLX, Quikrr, Cartrade, Carwale, TBHP, etc. There will be some mods onto it, haven't decided what and what not yet. Here are 2 pics from my trip.

Got tyres and rims fitted today. Tomorrow will go for a FFE and day after the car will be lifted couple of inches.

Hey the new wheels and tyres have already given her a nice facelift. How much and what kind of lift are you planning on giving her? Do the new shoes touch the springs at full lock or has the offset in your alloys taken care of that?

Thanks, it does looks nice but with a new top it will look even better.
The car right now touches a lot that's why have removed the bumper. Will be getting bigger shackles, 2" around, that should suffice.

Congrats. The Gypsy looks good. Are those 235MTs. The first thing you need to get rid of is those mirrors, the stock ones are useless.

I had read your vRS thread and lusted after it. I hope you start a separate thread for this as well.

All the best.

Thanks, yes these are 235 MT, Big Horn to be specific. A lot of things will go and be replaced with better stuff, like the mirror and seat belt.
I still do have the vRS but I rarely update the thread so posting here. Once I have done major mods then will start a thread to give it some volume. Speaking of volume, I would suggest turning it up for the FFE video

This is how the car looks as of last night
