Champ for sale

[Ryan]

Was wondering when this champ would make an appearance.
That hardtop does look very good indeed Richard.
So what was the purpose of the extention?

Conjecture on my behalf.

1. This was not done by the RAAF(that bit is not conjecture)
2. No tailgate on a champ, many rears were cut and modified to remedy this
3. On one hand a nice waterproof Landy roof with tailgate, on the other a slightly too short Champ.

Be interested to know what the ride is like with a load, and the dearture angle leaves more than a little to be desired.
After getting a price for a Champ with trailer to go to Tassy on the Ferry, this maybe a cheaper alternative.

"This Austin Champ is in very good condition. Everything works well, although the brakes will require some attention as it has been stored in a shed for many years. It has a very quite motor and includes oringinal tools such as crank handle, shovel and pick. The vehicle does require two batteries.Inspections are welcome."

Ex Australian Army, Rust issues maybe a more than the normal issue, as it appears that at some time in its chequered past, this Champ was used to launch boats at Warracknabeal.
