rampant rivet Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Am restoring Champ 05BE56 at the mo and as it is part owned by my wife Caroline I would like to mark the vehicle up in Memory of Carolines grandfather who served with the wilts regiment during and post WWII. Can anyone tell me what markings a champ from around 1952--55 would carry when in service with this regiment ? Thanks RR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter4456 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 If you join the Austin Champ Owners Club, I'm sure John Mastrangalo will be able to help you - he has an incredible knowledge of 50s and 60s Div / Brigade / Unit markings and signs. Once you have the information, it's quite easy to replicate the markings - your local signs shop should able to help. Please post some photos of your Champ when it's finished!
