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.

We booked this wonderful car for our wedding in South Wales and were over the moon with the car itself and the excellent service provided by our driver, Darren. Throughout the enquiry and booking process Premier Carriage were responsive and always available to answer our questions. Prior to the wedding we both agreed an itinerary and any extra details so that we wouldn’t miss any photos opportunities and everything ran smoothly on our big day. Would really recommend using a Premier Carriage car on your big day and a huge thanks to Darran our driver!
