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.

This was a wonderful addition to our wedding, our guests loved it and it really added to the occasion. Our driver was lovely, timely and competent - handling difficult hill starts like a pro. Would thoroughly recommend for weddings and other events

We had the loveliest ride from our ceremony to the reception venue. Our driver was very thoughtful and attentive, pulling over to put the roof up when it started raining. We would recommend this company and service to anyone looking for a wedding car!
