[Richard Coutts-Smith]

Courtesy of Stuart at the Champ Register:

Chassis No: WN1-2380
Army reg: 23 BE 80
Engine No: 4222
Date into Service: 1st April 1953 when received from Austin at the 31st B Vehicle Depot Church Broughton, part of the 3rd Vehicle Group HQ, Church Broughton in Derbyshire and given Receipt Voucher: CBR/R/3 (Note: It was one of four Champs delivered under this RV number)
Struck Off: 8th May 1968 from BAOR (British Army of the Rhine) - This is one of the last Champs to leave service - 2 or 3 years after most had been removed.
Sold: Probably at auction in Monchengladbach a few months later.

BAOR service explains the low slung reflector at the back.
Interesting to see if the original motor is still fitted.
