In 1956 the British Army abandoned its policy of CT vehicles, the type of which the Champ was the first, and the CT family was downgraded to General Service status. A standard radio fitting kit for quarter ton vehicles, a table running on sliding runners with battery mountings, was introduced the same year. The Champ itself stayed in army service for another decade, and a few were used as late as 1967.
