Status: offline 		Just saw "Mr. Bean's Holiday" with Rowan Atkinson on TV (not very good really, but acceptable if you like Atkinson which I do). Anyway, a tank or rather a tank destroyer, it didn't have a turret, appears in the movie. It's allegedly German WWII and looked to me vaguely like a Marder III. It was probably some kind of mock-up, but just wondered if anyone with better recognition skills has identified it.

Status: offline 		Thanks. I think that was indeed the one in the movie (at least I got the III right). Based on your and wozwasnt's info, I found this Alvis conversion
