Over many years of club trips back in the 1970's and 80's , we only had one incident with a Jeep tipping over, the driver, Neil, was not injured . I guess we were very much aware of the Jeeps potentially dangerous characteristics and we drove them accordingly , no silly risks taken.

What they don't tell you is the body was built by GMH

And a very early advert from a Adelaide dealer linking the Jeep to the cars
