there's just the one by bob grundy thats being shown for the first time in public at tankfest at the weekend,it's based on the chassis of two ford county tracked tractors that have been joined together.the only other replica is a non runner thats in the panzer museum in germany.

just stick a7v in google images and loads will come up.

yes an pretty useless across country because of it.

yes it's the one bob grundy did.it's been pretty much finished for a good few months with only the finishing touches to do.

i presume so,the first time i saw it the chassis work had allready been done,the drive wheel and idler look right.not sure about the tracks but i think he's added rubber pads to them,you can't see much of them anyway.

it's a private venture and i don't know whats going to happen to it long term.i think he built it for the challenge.i suppose if somebody makes him an offer he can't refuse it could go anywhere.

yes i've lots but i've promised not to put any up before tankfest,don't want to steal is thunder.i'm going to tankfest so i'll take a few more there and try and put a few up afterwards showing the tank during it's build.

if anybodys thinking about going to tankfest it'll be worth the trip just to see this vehicle.i've seen it during construction and it's a superb job and something totally unique.the interior is nothing to look at but the exterior is brilliant.it's based on two ford county tractors stuck together.the front gun fires blanks and the machine guns all move with the help of ford escort wiper motors.the driving position is right at the back with the engine just in front,slightly back from the centre of the vehicle.it will be driven with the help of cameras on the outside and somebody standing were the comander/driver position is in the real tank.

yes if i've saved up enough to afford the petrol!
