Austin Champ
The American Jeep impressed the British Military who commissioned a project to create an equivalent for Britain. Nuffield (Morris) were charged with this work and produced 'The Gutty' in 1945 which was flawed. The vehicle was redesigned to become the Wolseley Mudlark in 1949. Further development took place and Austin won 15,000 orders to produce the vehicle from their then rivals the Nuffield Organisation. The Austin Champ is the result and it was given a Rolls-Royce B40 2838cc engine that Austin manufactured under licence. In 1953 the WN3 civilian version of the Austin Champ started production, and this was given the 2660cc Austin A90 Atlantic engine. Production was discontinued in May 1956 after 12,991 had been built
