There is little detail about the MBT-80 a British and german effort to find a replacement MBT, evetually they went their own ways. Any better photos than this out there?
I am looking for the competing design of General Motors Corporation that ran against, and lost to the Chrysler Corporation's Main Battle Tank design of 1973, that would become the now famous 'M1 Abrams MBT'
Pictures, drawings and technical data please if you have it

is there any art work or drawings or...
