Research pending

A matching completed auction sale has not been verified for this exact year, body, trim, engine, transmission and market.

Joyride shows this gap instead of substituting an asking price, unsold bid or mismatched special vehicle.

A place in vehicle history

More than a set of wheels.

Maruti launched the Gypsy in India in December 1985, not 1984. It was based on the long-wheelbase Suzuki SJ410 and began as a soft-top. A small 1.0-litre-class petrol engine, a separate chassis and selectable four-wheel drive made it useful where roads became rough. Wider-track and 1.3-litre versions came much later.

Look a little closer.

MG410 works like a tiny description: Maruti Gypsy, four cylinders, about one litre.

Photos show an example of the model or generation. The pictured vehicle’s year, equipment, or modifications can differ from the specification described here.

Why light and simple can help

Suzuki describes the SJ410 recipe as a separate chassis, small dimensions, leaf springs and a 45 bhp 1,000 cc-class engine. Those parts do not promise a soft ride, but they make a compact vehicle whose wheels can keep working over uneven ground.

Do not mix the later Gypsys

The first MG410 was narrow-track and used the 970 cc F10A with four forward gears. The MG410W widened the tracks in the 1990s, and the later Gypsy King gained a 1.3-litre engine and five-speed gearbox. This page stays with the original launch recipe.
