I have extended my original search criteria to the other Vehicle guides and found the Platypus from VG3 is an excellent donor vehicle.

"Platypus Dreg by VG3:
Compact; Standard chassis; Light suspension;

4 PR tires Damaged (-5 DP each), Medium PP Damaged (-5 DP), Driver with 10 pts Plastic CA. Mini Rocket Platform with 2 x linked Light AP Rockets, 6 x linked Mini AP Rocket (F). Armour 22 pts. LR Metal and 43 pts. Plastic (F: 9/12, R: 2/8, L: 2/8, B: 6/9, T: 2/3, U: 1/3. Cost: $2,876, Wgt: 3,700, HC: 1, Top Speed: 97.5, Accel: 5.

There is plenty of empty cargo space so 1/3 of penetrating hits will pass through without causing internal damage. In the event of victory the vehicle chassis will be able to carry salvage equal to the weight of the rockets that it has expended (so likely over 120lb).

I like this one as it actually has a "Turret" for all round attack (or more likely firing as it runs away).
