UPDATE: Bill notes that the starting price dropped on this one. Now there’s a bid of $1000 on it.

Bill shared this rare Austin Champ. It seems a fair price, but the cost of parts is the killers on these.

“1958 Austin Champ British Jeep
The Austin Champ is powered by a 64hp Rolls Royce gasoline engine with a 5-speed gearbox (forward and reverse), and a clutch for 4-wheel drive option. It has 4-wheel independent suspension with double a-frames and torsion bar. The fasteners are British standard — Whitworth, the same as early British motorcycles. This vehicle has river fording capabilities. The Champ had sophisticated generating systems for field operations.
This vehicle was operable until early 90’s, and then it started to require more work than there was time for. This vehicle is being offered with an additional engine (that was purchased new from the UK in the early 1990’s), and a set of parts that include carburetor, distributor, etc. The vehicle is currently stored, along with the additional engine, in northern California. This vehicle is currently not running. All paperwork, registration and title. Buyer responsible for relocating vehicle. We can assist you in sorting out details of the shipping if needed.”

====================

I can find no date for this Champion Company Doo-All ‘Jeep” Trailer brochure. Give only CJ-2As are shown, I initially thought this was published around 1948. However, the lack of Jeep wagons or trucks may indicate the brochure was published earlier than that. The from number is S-3-T.

This first 8″x11.5″ page is the front page:

I don’t think that the terms “Austin Champ” and “easy project” should ever be used in the same sentence. I’ve never seen one of these trailers for sale. Thanks to Bill for the link.
