Beschreibung
Excellent condition for a 65 year old vehicle, has been fully restored to include all original items, including the manufacturer fabric roof material, removable aerials, pick-axe handle and head, shovel, Jerry can etc. Drives as it should for such a low mileage Champ, we also have the doors, these have not been refurbed so plastic a little brittle.
The Austin Champ is the civilian version of a British Army vehicle made by the Austin Motor Company. The army version was officially known as "Truck, 1/ 4 ton, CT,, Cargo FFW, Austin Mk. 1" however the civilian name "Champ" was universally, if unofficially, applied to it. The Rolls-Royce-designed B40 four-cylinder engine of 2838 cc was fitted, the smallest of the standardised B-Range engines. The gearbox had five ratios with synchromesh on all gears. A conventional Borg Beck clutch with mechanical linkage was used and drive from the gearbox was by shaft to the rear combined transfer box and differential assembly which incorporated reverse gear, thereby allowing five reverse gears also.
Complete manuals in 2 large ring binders, additional folder containing more paperwork in forms of registration, general Champ mag articles, owners club memberships etc. throughout its life.
VIEWING STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
