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.

Here's a cheap one that's been sitting in a shipping container for years.

Hi Ryan,
There are quite a few Champs/parts thereof with this seller in Gympie, the last one (Post 37) is now an hour down the road from me, and it was great to meet up with another local Champ owner.
I expect we will see more over the ensuing months.
Rich.

Thanks Tony.

"1955 Austin army jeep
Body in very good condition ,B40 fully submersible petrol engine, 4 speed forward and reverse hi - low range manual gearbox, side rifle holders, front windscreen's and frame, soft top frame all include in sale, all it needs is front headlights replacing and a new ignition switch the electrical system is 24 volts
. Hard to find original id plated army jeeps that have been to war and back and ended up surviving. "

The last line may well be true, I wonder what vehicle it refers to .....
The very good body has the sills rusted out/missing on the pass. side at least.
will have 5 speed box with no high/low gearbox.
Missing upholstery, back seat
Incorrect bumper and WAY incorrect steering wheel.
A coat of fresh paint can hide a multitude of evils.
Rich.
