We had Austin Champ 4x4s a long time ago.
RollsRoyce engines, with fully waterproof electrickery.
Once it got wet and stopped going it took at least all day to take off the distributor cap thing, and getting a plug cap off was an act of sheer magic. The plugs were special things too. And useless.
Great gearboxes .... reverse was a separate box, so it went as fast backwards as forwards. Overturned really easily going backwards ...
Junk car. Too heavy, too slow, too greedy-guzzly, no doors or roof to speak of, no heater, but did have a snorkel. Horrible to drive. Ghastly suspension tyres and steering.
Then we started getting series Landies ....
