Just for fun this one.

If money were no object, servicing/transport and parts available, which Classic Tank would you most love to own?

Oh yeah and you have a nice big field with lots of different things to drive over or through (old cars/logs/water)

let me know if their is one that is your favorite and that will be counted too.

I was going to say JagdPanzer IV, because I like it's sleek, low profile. But technically it's not a tank.

So T34 it is.

@Nik: you can see in my profile pic what it will do to your Pz IV... :-)

Panther no matter what version. None of the American and British toycars.
Outproduced, not outmatched!

Not sure about that old boy.

Just because its really THE iconic British WWII tank, it has to be the Churchill (an mark will do but for purity of untested design make it a Mk.I)

Hmmm...you know what, i don't think i really have a favourite.

IF pushed i'd say two; the German Tiger and the Russian T34, because these both represent almost perfectly the character of their respective nations and their attitudes to the war...
