It'd be a laugh to turn up for IVA in that.

Yep Kapersky went a bit loopy about it to.
As for the building of it, and IVA'ing, well lets just say that it is also something that I have been wondering about for the past couple of
years since I mooted building my own Locost/Light weight version at one of the Kit car shows about a couple of years ago. I got most of the little
niggles of construction worked out for a space frame construction and build, the only real problems I've got left are, tracks, IVA, insurance
and use on the road. Last bit could get the boys in blue a bit worked up I think.
Next step is to start the build. Hehe. No I am being serious here.
JGG.
Edit bit, Oh and my garage is NOT going to be big enough so it will HAVE to be done in the front garden.

I think u'd be allowed the 88mm as long as it's not an automatic. Might fail on emissions though. As for sharp edges the King Tiger
might be a better choice than the Mk 1. Power wise a bike engine wouldn't be up to it. Pinto or Rover V8 should do fine.

I was thinking that,.......
The machine gun beside the driver would actually be a Pea Shooter,
The machine gun on top of the Turret would be a Water Gun,
And the 88mm main would have to be a low velocity (gun regs) Spud Gun.
I was going for the Tiger (MK1) rather than the King Tiger because it would be easier to construct with box section tubes and flat Ali plate than
something with a lot of curved profiles.
Power wise, I was thinking Escort 1.8TD (X2), 1 for each track possibly through auto boxes to the rear drive sprockets via Sierra/Granada
Diff's.
The main suspension arms would be Torsion bar units off of Peugeots.
Not quite worked out turret opperation yet.
As I said I have been thinking this out for quite a while. Insurance, IVA and road use would be quite interesting.
I don't expect fuel economy to be very good.
