Here's the link

Starting price $A3k. Out of interest, what would something as rust-free as this be worth in the UK?

Here's one of the pics:

Richard - for your interest the process I follow with epay pics is to download them to my computer first then upload as they will disappear from Epay in time and all we'd be left with is a little blue box with a question mark.

It would seen it's current status is more like this:

Keith,
I'm learning all the time.
Hard to tell if this was bought by the vendor in bits and roughly assembled, or the reverse. Hate to think what the bid would be on a jeep in similar condition....

Another Champ on Oz ebay item# 120170371094.
Starting price $7000. Hardly original specs, but does have 2 (thats two!) tacho's. Being pedantic, as is my wont, but how can you have a "Solid canopy and doors" made out of canvas?
Of interest only to myself is that it came of the production line 11 in front of mine. Mind you , the British car industry being what it was then, that may well be 11 MONTHS younger!

BTW, First Champ sold for $3612

The second Champ was unbid at $7000, is now back on for a quick (3 day) sale, starting at $4000. Item 120174880982 on Aussie Ebay. with the Datsun motor and 2wd conversion it apparently handles like an "Italian exotic".......Quote from 1st adv.
Bye Bye
Rich.

Hi Hanno,
Bedraggled looking pair they are too. Windscreen on the right opens unusally doesn't it. Love that bumper too, the back wheels would be barley touching the ground!
BTW, A "Rare Bird" is possibly the best (and politest) description of a Champ I have ever heard.

EBay as follows

Bit rusty but with a starting price of only $800 it would be a cheap start to a whole new world of pain.

Only seen one of these before, civilian Austin Champ with Austin A90 instead of the B40 RollsRoyce. BTW the name "Champ" came from the civilian model, as the original military version was known as FV1801,CT,4x4. or very similar (FV/fighting vehicle, CT/Combat).

Amphibious in upto 1.5 meters!! I thought that if you were amphibious you didnt need a depth rating.
Starting at $5000 and heaps of work needed, thems nearly Jeep prices.

Perhaps the depth thing relates to it's use as a boat anchor
