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.

Glynne was brilliant on our wedding day. He arrived early, immaculately turned out and the car spotless. It felt so special arriving in a Rolls-Royce. Glynne took us for a drive after the wedding and was super accommodating whilst we took some pictures with the car. Thank you.

Beautiful car as described. It arrived earlier than expected which meant there was no stress waiting for it. Driver was very friendly and helpful. We had 5 people in the car and had plenty of room even with a large wedding dress. It was lovely to arrive at the venue with the top down. All in all so glad we chose this car and service.
