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.

Excellent service! Would recommend to anyone considering.

The car arrived promptly 15minutes before the allotted time. The driver, Peter, was very professional and was very kind and understanding. He even let me direct him a longer route, down some country lanes, not just direct to the venue. I honestly had the best time ever. Thank you!

The Rolls Royce Ghost Series II was stunning. Our driver Jay arrived 45 minutes early and was super helpful in every way. The whole package was perfect. We would highly recommend Premier Carriage Wedding Cars and especially this wonderful vehicle and the driver Jay.

We hired the Beaufort 4 Door Wedding Car for our special day, and it was absolutely perfect! The car itself was stunning—elegant, comfortable, and a real head-turner. It added such a classic touch to our wedding. Our driver was fantastic— professional, punctual, and incredibly friendly, making the journey even more enjoyable. Everything ran smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!"
