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.

Daniel and his taxi were completely perfect! He arrived in plenty of time and was very patient while I was running around outside the flat! He was knowledgeable, polite and very calm. The taxi was exactly as pictured with beautiful ribbons and spotless inside. Thank you for offering such a brilliant service.

From start to finish, these guys were amazing! We hired 2 x Routemaster buses for our transport to and from our venue for our annual company event, and our staff just adored them! They made such a big impact and kick started our day off perfectly! Not to mention, they were incredibly helpful when sorting the personalised signage for the front of each bus. Would definitely book again, and highly recommend!

The car arrived promptly 15minutes before the allotted time. The driver, Peter, was very professional and was very kind and understanding. He even let me direct him a longer route, down some country lanes, not just direct to the venue. I honestly had the best time ever. Thank you!
