mildot Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hi all Im the proud owner of an Austin Champ, its a rolling restoration that i will do over the winter. Its my first MV however i have 2 mates who both have Champs! now this is my problem one has a dessert version and the other is the good old gloss green! Im trying to decide what colour to go for as i dont want the same as them and someone has said that in cyprus they had a camo version which was sand/green coloured. I have searched hi and low and can not find anything that matches this. Does anyone have any details on such a colour scheme? or an alternative colour? (not navy or rmp) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick W Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hello. Champ owner as well. Again, never seen or heard of Champ in camo. Mine is painted in desert stone, a la Tripoli post war, M.E.L.F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubbyHumber Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hi and welcome to another champ owner. Haven't been a forum member for that long myself. I assume that you've had a good look around on: http://www.austinchamp.com/ What part of the country are you in?

mildot Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Im in Kent. I have been googling for days! :yawn: there seems to be very little around and all pics etc that i can find are green or sand. I heard somewhere about the cyprus camo and also a trial black. However i can not find any pictures of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 See http://www.angelfire.com/nj/healing/Cyprusnewsphotos.html for a Champ in Cyrpus. It appears to be in Light Stone. Note the tyres with a road / sand tread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
