A rare but rusty second World War armoured command car is getting a new lease of life at shows around Buckinghamshire - thanks to a Milton Keynes businessman and his company.The 4 x 4 Dodge, once also used by the Swiss army as an anti-riot vehicle, has been bought by Joe Muscat, who owns the [Bucks Biz business centres](https://www.bucks-biz.co.uk/), and is being restored to its original glory.![Joe and tank rusty small](https://www.bucks-biz.co.uk/hs-fs/file-13799104-jpg/images/joe_and_tank_rusty_small.jpg?width=156&height=170&name=joe_and_tank_rusty_small.jpg)

"It's got a lot of rust on it, but the bodywork is extremely thick armoured plating and we expect the corrosion to only be on the surface,” said Joe. “We’ll be restoring it over the next few months, ready to take it around local shows and events from summer next year.”Joe came across the vehicle - called a MAWAG - at Northampton-based tank driving company Tanks-A-Lot and they agreed to sell it to him. “There are just a handful of these left in the world; most were used later as target practice or as spares for other Dodge vehicles” said Tanks-A-Lot founder Nick Mead. “We’ve not been able to get round to restoring it, so we readily allowed Joe to take it over. We believe there are just three in the UK, so it is a rare vehicle and enthusiasts will want to see it.”

Bucks Biz, which has several [business centres](https://www.bucks-biz.co.uk/our-buildings/) around Milton Keynes, says the vehicle will also be put on permanent display outside one of its centres.
