The armoured personnel carrier of the British army from the mid 60’s through the cold war and into the present day. The most part of the vehicle is still in use in what is now called ‘Bulldog’. Our rare mk1 version has the B81 Rolls Royce petrol engine which produces ov...

This is what we affectionately call the ‘sports tank’! The reason behind this being the engine and performance of this 8-ton beast… The engine is straight out of the Jaguar E-Type! A 4.2 litre, 6-cylinder petrol engine giving out over 200 horsepower. It propels this alu...

The ‘Stolly’ as it’s affectionately known is almost unstoppable off-road. With full 6-wheel drive and a roaring B80 Rolls Royce engine similar to that in our FV432, the Stolly can run along at around 45mph over any territory. At 9 tons in weight, it is also amphibious!...
