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.

Nigel (and Ruby) were absolutely brilliant. We completed a trial drive a couple of weeks before which was really useful and I was made to feel at ease which made the drive to our wedding slightly less nerve wracking. I would highly recommend.

The car was better than the pictures and in perfect condition. The chauffeur was professional, friendly and attentive. We worked well with our photographer to create some great shots.

Sue and the team were so helpful and always responded quickly. On the day, Paul drove right up to the front door to avoid my dress getting dirty and he was so lovely on the drive there and back. The car is absolutely stunning and definitely turned some heads. Can’t fault the service :)
