But for Land Rover only having aluminium available for the bodies they might have gone the same way as the Gypsy.

Gypsy never had a RR engine, that was the Champ 2.8 litre RR powered. Came out about the same time as the first Landrovers. So it was not a copy as someone said. But both were copies of the Jeep.

Nope. Not unless it was a retro fit. Rolls Royce B40 4 cylinder 2838cc. Or Austin A 90 2660cc. I used to work on em. Never seen one with a 4 litre lump.
