Gatwick

The Main Event

Unleash your inner action hero with a Tank Driving Experience, because who needs a Ferrari when you can command eight tonnes of pure military power?

Taking place at the Gatwick Aviation Museum, this adrenaline-pumping adventure gives you the chance to get behind the controls of the Alvis CVR(T) Spartan, a genuine armoured personnel carrier. Known affectionately as the “Sports Tank”, it’s fast, fierce, and surprisingly nimble. Forget clunky old war machines, this one is powered by a 4.2-litre, 6-cylinder petrol engine, the same powerhouse found in the legendary Jaguar E-Type. With over 200 horsepower and the ability to hit 50 mph, it’s safe to say this tank doesn’t hang about.

And here’s where things get really fun: this beast has a semi-automatic gearbox with seven forward and reverse gears, meaning it can roar backwards almost as fast as it goes forwards. Steering is done with precision fingertip controls, while its custom braking system ensures a smooth, heart-racing ride from start to finish.

It’s not all brawn, though. The Spartan’s compact size makes it an intimate driving experience, where you’ll feel every rumble of the engine and every turn of the track.

As an added bonus, the experience includes free entry to the Gatwick Aviation Museum, so you can make a full day of it exploring fascinating aircraft and military history.

Perfect for thrill-seekers aged 18 and over with a full driving licence, this is the ultimate gift for someone who thinks they’ve tried everything. Whether it’s for your dad’s big birthday, your partner’s next adventure, or a unique present for that hard-to-buy-for friend, this tank driving session guarantees bragging rights and a story to tell for years to come.
