simondema Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi all Just joined the forum. Back in 1987 I bought an Austin Champ from a dealer here in Sydney and decided to restore it after having a lot of fun driving around Sydney with it. Unfortunately halfway through the project I had to sell it, as I had to move premises and didn't have room to store it anymore. I am currently trying to find what happened to it, although I think it will be a monumental task, as too much time has passed. I have attached a photo of it taken in 1987 soon after I bought it. I have now been bitten by the Champ bug again and being older (probably not wiser) I will approach the project very differently. There are still quite a number of Champs out here in Australia, although their numbers I believe are dwindling. I have my heart set on one, and I will hopefully go and have a look at it in the next few weeks. Hopefully this forum will help me with my long, but never boring, restoration project!

Big ray Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Welcome in........ thats a fine looking machine, I drove them in Germany when they were new (1950s) I always thought that they were a great little machine, I can understand why you would like to get your hands on another one.
