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.

Fiona was brilliant from our first phone call right until the end of our booking. She was so considerate of time for photos, had the camper stocked with hand held fans, water etc that my Bride loved! Highly recommend to anyone looking a vintage touch for their big day with an amazing driver.

Great communication via emails as well as the driver confirming all details a few days before the wedding. Driver was prompt, polite and drove perfectly around central London. Also helped position the car to have some professional photos with the vehicle. Car was perfect.

The buses were ready and waiting outside the church for the speedy boarding of guests especially as the weather was a bit windy and wet.Everyone enjoyed the bus ride and had a lot of fun. The pre wedding call confirming details was very useful and I am grateful to carl for getting the bus signs sorted at short notice. The buses were a great hit.
