The owner contacted the Register in January 2009 and supplied the photos below: "1552 is condition 1 now. It is restored and fully road
licenced. I finished it in desert trim just because I like
it! A bit of body work, rewired all round, new brakes
all round, much angst with the carby, overhaul distributor, restore and rewire
switch and inst panels, a bit of fettling of the steering and finished with a
hand paint job."
Previously assumed scrapped as Baz Ford binnawan@iinet.net.au contacted the Register in August 2008: "I have picked up another Champ and a couple of engines: Champ No. WN1 7752 (77BE52) with engine No 56957; Spare engine No 55073 and Spare engine No 3949." Spare engine No 55073: Spare engine 3949: Previous owner contacted the Register in April 2008: "I have been jeeping for a number of years but recently acquired 2 more Champs. One is 15BE52, I'll have engine No next couple of days. 2nd will be here next week and I'll let you have info asap. Usual problem of rotten wiring, causing grief at the moment." |
