Austin Champ
Vehicle Ref 169
About this vehicle:
The Champ is one of only around 300 left on the road in the UK, it was designed as the British answer to the US Jeep after World War II. Known for being over engineered and expensive to produce it has a 2.8 litre Rolls-Royce designed B40 four cylinder engine. Despite the basic look it has a ride quality to rival most modern cars and was years ahead of its time in many respects.
It has a simple fold up roof but no side cover which means the side remains open when driving, although if the weather is fine the roof can be fully down to appreciate the full open effect.
The Austin Champ can take two passengers in the back and one in the front. The driver can wear appropriate period ceremonial or combat uniform, or civilian clothes if preferred, simply let us know your preference at the time of booking. An unusual and fun way to travel, perhaps for the Groom and Best Man.

Impeccable service. Thank you so much. Our driver arrived at the house early which was a huge comfort and knew the best routes through London and kept us calm during what could have been a stressful morning! Thank you.

Good Afternoon,Thank you for your service provided for our Wedding day. The driver, and vehicle were both amazing. Unfortunately, though, we didn't seem to have the lilac ribbon on the car as requested and detailed on the itinerary. We didn't want to mention it on the day of the wedding, as we knew nothing could be done about it there and then.Other than this missed detail, everything was absolutely perfect!
Kind Regards,David Hull & Rebecca Hull

Harvey was brilliant and we loved being driven to the wedding in his car. We visited Harvey a few months before and he told us all about the car and let us have a sit inside. He was attentive, checking in via email every now and again and turned up with plenty of time to spare on the wedding morning meaning we were very relaxed about getting to the ceremony. Could not have asked for better service :)

Just perfect. I feel very embarrassed to say I can't remember the name of our driver, but my goodness he was amazing! He was so calming on the way to the church and when things ran over slightly he did not rush us at all. He was just as special as the car to us on our wedding day.
A huge thank you. Wonderful service and would highly recommend to any other couples booking their wedding day transport. Thank you. Becky
