Thanks Ryan,
This is a "real" Champ, which is to say the civilian version (The military one was only a number -FV1800 - it just unofficially adopted the name ) Considerably rarer as well.
Austin filmed a 20min or so PR colour film of two new Civvy Champs on a very hilly NZ sheep farm.
For those that are interested, the difference's are
Austin A90 engine
Civilian dash
One piece wheel rims (to all intents and purposes, Landy rims)
Fixed windscreen frame
Sidesteps
No machine gun mount on scuttle
Filled in front on front mudgaurd.
12 volt

Quite obviously (from these pics) the propensity for rust is exactly the same.
Here endeth the lesson.
Rich.
