What Can I Expect

Drive a Spartan tank in Warwickshire (with passenger and more driving fun add-ons available too!) at this private Showground location near Rugby.

The Alvis Spartan is nimble and fast, which is why it's been nicknamed the ‘Sports Tank' by the crew at Rugby. It weighs in at eight tonnes, which is actually light for a fully tracked vehicle like this. But more astonishingly, it's actually powered by a 4.2l Jaguar XK petrol engine as standard!

So what does the Army do with a racing Jaguar tank? Well, the Spartan is officially known as the FV103 Alvis CVR(T) Spartan tank. In war zones and battle scenarios, the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) Spartan is used to transport specialist teams in safety.

Even fully loaded with crew and passengers, a Spartan is more than capable of bouncing over a muddy field at speeds of up to 50mph! If you need to get somewhere fast in a combat zone, the Spartan is the tank you need.

As for driving the Spartan, you've got all the power you need with that 200bhp six cylinder Jag engine. The tank also has a semi-automatic gearbox making it relatively easy for you to get to grips with. There are seven forward gears and seven reverse gears, so the Alvis will go as fast backwards as it does forward. Pretty impressive eh?

Don't forget, you can bring someone along with you inside the cab when you pop the 'Spartan Tank Drive with Passenger' voucher in your basket. And if you go 'Ultimate', you get to drive the Spartan, a DAF military truck and a Dennis fire engine too!
