UPDATE: Still Available.

(04/08/2024) These are hard to find vehicles. Not sure if they are easier or harder to get parts for than the Austin Champs. Thanks to TJ for sharing.

“I have 2 Autumn Gipsy’s that I was going to use to make 1 nice one. They are both projects, one has a pretty good body and ran when I put them away, the other has a hard top, and a lot of good parts and pieces the the other one needs. Both are independent suspension. This is just a project that I’m not going to get to. If the ad is up, they are still available. Let’s not waste each other’s time.”

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 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.

Im looking for $2000 or best offer.”

ausUnique jeep, but expensive to get parts.
