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.

Absolutely loved having John and his campervan as my transport for the morning of my wedding. The camper was immaculate inside and out and John was lovely, it was a brilliant way to kick off the day. Wouldn’t change a single thing!

Myself & my partner Kane couldn't recommend Premier Carriage enough. Our car was not only beautiful but inside and out immaculate. We had the most relaxing journeys & a glass of fizz to our venue to celebrate. Michael was an absolute gentleman and we couldn't have asked for a better driver!
