Hi guys
If you have been put off one of these great kits because you did not think
you could transport it here are a couple of pictures of my Stug conversion in my small smart car :shock: Image

So you have no reason not to go for it with the next batch of PzIII coming out soon :lol:
It fits really well with the front seat folded down.
Regards

Hej Derek

Nice pictures, and you remember to use the seatbelt :lol: I hope I can have my KT in my Citroen Picasso, otherwise I may use my trailer....

A silly question - I can see your location is London, but your steeringwheel are in left side of the car ??

Best regards

Poul

Cool Derek! Hopefully you never have to put the brakes on fast though. Mr Stug could go through the windshield! :x
I've seen a Smart car here in the US pulling a utility trailer, I have to laugh because the trailer is as big as the car. That would be an option, pull a small utility trailer for the Stug. :o

Derek, Can you remove the front seat? and put your tank where the seat was?

Hi Guys
I am making a proper platform for the stug to sit on but it actualy fits in the boot area.
I have seen toe hitch for trailers to fit on the back of a smart but in the uk these are not approved.
So I cant do that I am looking for a small van like the suzuki carry to move the tanks for shows.
The good thing about the smart I went from London to the Tank Museum and back on £16 .00 of petrol a round trip of over 300 miles.

So for now its Stug in the Smart
