    Abbot and 432 are the same family and cheap to buy. Lots of them around, design is 50 years old although the in service 432s have had a major upgrade.

    For something more sporty you want a member of the CVR(T) family, J60 4.2 Jag engine and good for 60mph :D Those still in service have been re-engined with Cummins diesels.

    Witham's had Stormer and Starstreak versions for sale but the DVLA are getting funny about registering them now so best to look for one already on the road. The Irish Defence Forces still have some Scorpions. There's even an owners club for them. http://afvsociety.co.uk/aboutus.html

    Withams also recently sold a Challenger 1 tank without a powerpack for over £100k to a member of the AFV Society

    If you are going to rob an ATM you want a CET, I really really want of these :cool:

    Who really wants to say they bought an APC instead of a TANK though, just to save a few quid?

    Because the base is the same and you still can't have working guns?

    For personal use, the APV suits me more, tbh. :)

    Put a snow scoop on the front, run off argi-diesel.... who will dip you in fairness?
