Both really..........Had some good old fasioned RF burns from the RT320 when a problem appeared a while back...hands seem to hurt for a good couple of Days.. Buying kit.........Yep guilty as charged

Hi Guess I should of mentioned this in Introductions....... I am G0PTR, and I still play radios and burn my fingers.... If youy checkout QRZ.com I run Larkspur C11/R210 and I also have Clansman RT320...which I have just put LSB module in....I know sacralidge an all... Looking for the Radio Table that fits C11 into Champ.......I expect someone might know where to look... 73's

Hi Chris Champs not running right yet no....... Stripped Carb, sprayed into every orafice, fuel and air, new gasket set, new mixer screw as taper on the one in pack was much longer than original...and initially started and ran and tickover too...... Took for run, and all was well for about 5mls.......judder/fizz/pop...got home but disappointed. Big Hammer next Did you get PM? Alan

Does a Freelander count?

Hi, I have been told that Mud Marcle is also off now, so thats another to strike out. Brilliant to document this restoration, I gotta say I am impressed...and fairly humbled too, as I feel like I have been lazy!!! Will PM you Alan

Hi Paul Yes you will know me, when you see me. I did make it to show, and was there on the Monday afterwards helping clear up. If I can make it I will(to meeting) so thanks for the invite. Alan

Hi I am going to have to be diplomatic here arnt I? Basically I love both, The jeeps looks and maintainability are plus points for that, against the Champs Complexity, however on long journeys the Champ wins hands down...I can still get out and walk about without backache and drivers cold shoulder...... Driven the Champ possibly the length and breadth of UK, mainly before the fuel price increases. Longest Journey Cheltenham to Edinburgh Trouble is there are many areas to compare. They both perform well offroad, if its boggy then the jeep is better, but real steep inclines Champ is as good as your nerve. They both have many plus/minus points

Hi everyone, I live in the Evesham Tewkesbury area, and have owned MV,s since 1979...I guess that makes me an older_git!! I have owned in the past a Morriss commercial MRA1, but In general I stick to the Austin Champ 61BE04 and in the last 5yrs I also bought a 1943 Willys Jeep. Alan
