This picture is of fellow ACMOC member Karl Bostons tank.We took it out for a Sunday drive which proved to be expensive.Its powered by a V12 RR Meteor petrol engine,a variant on the type of engine as fitted to a WW2 Spitfire aircraft

Hello Holger,
We had the full backing of the local police,the tank was 11 foot wide and 50 ton.It used £50 of petrol on a 4 mile trip.We had a top speed of 30mph out of it,well within speed limits LOL

Karl is waiting to get a diesel powered tank,much cheaper to run than the ARV.
