A couple of last comments and I will leave you in peace.
The indicators on the windscreen frame are original, can't say I have ever seen any here in OZ.
Appears from the pics that the previous owner has done a lovley job making the front bumper straight - they are supposed to be bent inwards at the centre.
You made mention of the rec'd fuel tank, is the bash plate among your spares?

Pretty normal to still have the original engine, but neat all the same !

You could join the Austin Champ Owners Club ( has the rather doubtful acronym of A COC), the award winning Champ World magazine is well worth the subscription.
