| History: |
Jimmy contacted the Register in August 2007:" I believe I've found an Austin Champ in my back yard. The vehicle number is
8276 which would make it the very last of it's series in your registry. I'm
having to clean out my property because I've moved to town. This has been on my
property since I purchased the land about 15 years ago. Please contact me about
sending you photos and also if you know anyone that would be interested in
purchasing it." John M: "You are correct, you have the very last Truck 1/4 Ton 4x4 Combat Chassis WN1-8276." Note: "CITY OF DURHAM" stencilled on the dash. An in-service photo of this vehicle exists but is copyright of Champ News.
