Mini Tank

[brianrbull]

Ok fellas I am going to need some help here. I found this little critter, I may have a chance to pick it up. Or one just like it..... I will need to ship it from here to the USA. I have no idea what it is, but I WANT it!! I dont think there are many around. and it would be sweet to drive around at rallys. I have to find my photos of the interior and engine compartment it looks to be mostly there. the engine will turn. it is a 4cyl air cooled gasser. Are any of you familar with this type of armored vehicle?

Thats awesome. I want one. Well I would rather have that one on youtube, that the guys made that had like a 650 hp BB chevy in it and would run like 80-90 mph!!! But this thing is awesome too.

There are "Supposedly" a few of these things knocking around , I have only seen the one I have begun negotiations to acquire this one. Before I spend any money I want to know the legalities of importing this thing, Also I wonder what this is worth? I know things are worth what somone is willing to pay.....

That thing is cool as hell, Brian!!! It would be a riot!!! Let me know if you need any help from this side of the pond.

This is a late posting but if you are still looking at trying to get this to the USA talk to the brits over at Tanksforsale homepage
the specialize in importation of this stuff. being as its an antique I don't think it would be too tuff to get the importation papers.

hopefully its the flame thrower version of the tank and you have to come to the GA Rally with it - so we do not have to chase the possums around for chow - catch em on the run sort of speaking.
Very cool

you should get it if you can. Otherwise it will languish as a rusted monument.

Strange Tanks Of The World dubious source in my mind but wealth of strange armor. I seem to recall a PM or PS article about mini tanks the USA was developing between the world wars. I have studied armor since I was a kid not sure this tank is the Italian one.
