Default Another Amphibious Champ

For sale Ozebay
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1955-Austin-C...QQcmdZViewItem
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.

Default Champ

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

In the immortal words: "Tell him he's dreamin'."

I know you are right...Anything with Lucas electrics won't even start if it is foggy out and anything with an ignition coil model # LU 4-55 has to be LUCAS...
And they are trying to get us to believe that that "Thing" is running under water...
MWAWAWAWHAHAHAHAhahahahaha!!!!
