Light weight seems a fair bet, and theres always quite a few knocking around the classifieds in LRW?

Veyr popular the champs are, when the government cleared out the old civil defence stock there were loads with storage mileage only on  them, but the price is still there.

Think is the Champ was never quite the 4x4 that the Jeep or Landy ever were, quite complicated and less capable in comparison.  Could you live with little kids calling it a Jeep?
