The contract with the British Army has been amendmended due to the termination of the contract for Rolls Royce B40 No 1 Mk 2/A 4 engines in 1952.
Also between 1948 and 1952, the War Office had already purchased a total of 2331 Land Rover Mk 1 (80" with 1600 cc engine) and 2100 Land Rover Mk 2 (80" with 1997 cc engine). For the price of one Champ, the government can purchase at least two Land Rovers!
