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.

Verified Reviews from Past Clients

We were absolutely delighted with the service. Adrian was an excellent driver, and during the journey he shared some interesting and fun facts about the car, which made the experience even more special. He was also very flexible with the timings and route, allowing us to arrive at the perfect moment while our guests were waiting at the reception. The car itself was immaculate; beautifully maintained, pristine, as if it had just come out of the factory. We absolutely recommend both the car and Adrian as the driver. Choosing them was the best decisions to fit our special day perfectly. Thank you so much! Natalie & Oriol
