Gulf War Military Vehicle Driving Experience

Prepare for an unforgettable adventure as you take the wheel of two legendary military vehicles right from the Gulf War. At Bicester Heritage, you’ll be driving the CVRT Spartan APC and the Leyland DAF 4x4 truck, both of which have authentic historical significance. There's no better way to immerse yourself in the thrilling world of military driving.

The CVRT Spartan, known for its agility and reliability, was designed specifically for challenging terrains and swift transportation. As you navigate in this compact Armoured Personnel Carrier, you'll appreciate its crucial role in operations where speed and safety are paramount. With a crew designed to carry specialist units, the Spartan is not just about raw power; it’s about precision and teamwork. Feel the history as you take on the same routes these vehicles traversed under fire.

Then, step into the Leyland DAF, affectionately known as the 'four tonner'. This robust truck, with its versatile setup, is essential for transporting supplies, making it integral to military logistics. With seating for up to 14, you’ll realize how vital these trucks were in efficiently moving troops and equipment. You'll get firsthand experience of the heavy-duty capabilities and the rugged build that has made this truck a reliable choice for many missions.

This experience isn’t just about driving; it’s about understanding the heritage and the stories behind these machines. Feel the thrill, engage your senses, and take home a newfound appreciation for the vehicles that once served in one of the most pivotal conflicts in modern history.
