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.

A huge thank you to Nick for the most amazing service on our wedding day. He arrived with plenty of time to spare and there was no pressure to leave for the ceremony until I was ready. Nick then drove us from the ceremony to our venue and made the whole experience so easy and such fun for us. We had so many compliments on the car. Thanks for making us feel so special!

Absolutely amazing from first contact to saying goodbye. Communication through WhatsApp was good and nothing was too much hassle. We requested a play list to be played to our wedding and to the after venue and was no problem. Harry arrived at our home early which was nice to show off the wedding car before setting off. The car itself "WOW" there is no more explanation needed. We asked for gold ribbon which was the perfect colour match. He was the perfect chauffeur and didn't rush us and let us take our time. We were even surprised to find a small gift from Harry when we got back into the gorgeous car when heading to the after venue. A massive thank you for making our day that little bit more special.

Had a fabulous experience from start to finish with Keyhole Motors for my daughter’s wedding car! Hired a beautifully spotless blue & ivory Imperial Landaulette and can’t thank driver Dave enough. Would definitely recommend everyone involved!! Thanks

Wow, what a car and what a driver. Everything was perfect, no rush service in a fantastic car. My daughter had no idea that we had arranged the car and was genuinely blown away. A perfect start to a perfect day.

We hired a vintage London red bus for one of our wedding events in the Cotswolds, and it was absolutely perfect. The team was reliable, professional, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. The bus arrived right on time, beautifully presented, and added such a fun, charming touch to our celebrations. Our guests loved the experience, and it made the day feel even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a unique and memorable element to their event!
