Vehicle Description
The Austin Champ was a Military and Civilian Jeep like vehicle made
in the 1950's. The Military versions were known by Truck, � ton,
CT, 4x4, Cargo, FFW and Mk1. After about 30 prototypes were built
they decided on what you see here. Most of these vehicles went to
the British Military hence the FFW stands for Fitted For Wireless
or Remote radio communications. These were also quite unique
because of the indestructible Rolls Royce 4-Cylinder engines that
were made for these. Another unique feature is the fact that these
engines were basically water-proof. This technology also proved to
be extremely expensive too complex and limited to just cross
country travel which it was extremely capable of. In-fact, it cost
way more than the Land Rovers that were being built for the same
thing. This particular Champ starts, runs and drives extremely well
with the working four forward and reverse gears which is pretty fun
to drive. Another cool thing which makes it nice is the full
syncromesh transmission unlike the Jeep counterparts. This would
make a great parade or cottage vehicle.
