vicra · 20th November 2007, 15:58

Dear All,

I would like to buy an used Gypsy which is costing around 50-1,00,000INR

U can find the original gypsy with 1000cc engine and narrow track for this budget.
There are plenty available.
I can help U source one if U're quite serious.

What rally?
The gypsy 1000 is too underpowered ,a minimum 11 years old and will need a hell a lot of skill to finish a rally.
Up ur budget and find a king with the 1300 engine and wider track.

Hello Nitrous,

Thanks for your advice, will go for a gypsy king in that case.I just had a word with a senior manager service (maruti service station in chennai), All he says is its difficult and it takes a lot of time to procure spare parts for gypsys ,would like to know from you whether its true fact?

Hi Nitrous,

I'm interested in a King. Could you give me an indicative idea of how much it would cost along with the cost of the mods?

Thank you.

Spare parts are difficult to procure. We had a Gypsy king a few years back, and we had a tough time sourcing clutch plates.

YES!
It took us almost a month to source the steering box for Headers' king.
Gypsy spares come from Delhi.
And a Gypsy king here costs a minimum of around 1.5 lakhs.

Vicra, if rallying is your motive, start a thread on what is the best way to do it. Many people here will advise you start with the carb esteem instead.

vicra · 22nd November 2007, 10:48

Dear Nitrous,

As you also have said that spareparts for gypcy is difficult to procure, please advice whether i should go for gypcy or esteem because the very purpose of buying another vehicle is to participate in rallys.

What kind of rallies,man?
There are Time-Speed-Distance rallies as well as INRC rallies where U'll have to go as fast as U can.
Do U wish to do endurance rallies like the Raid-de-Himalaya or the Rally Desert Storm?
