Design Notes - This is an update of this obsolete van:
Type: Van, Chassis: Xtra-Heavy, Suspension: Heavy, Engine: Super Tires: 4 PR back, 2 PR-Radials front, Crew: Driver & Gunner & 3 passengers;  Weaponry: 3 MML (10/reg) in 3 sp. turret, PGS with mag (4/reg) back, Unweighted Accessories: 2 SWCs, Cargo: 6 spaces, 0 lbs. 160 pts Plastic Armor: F 40 B 30 R 30 L 30 T 15 U 15; HC: 3 (OBSOLETE), Acc. 5, Weight: 7200 lbs., Cost: $19,700.00
In my attempt to update it, I realize that the numbers are a bit off (I didn't have the 6 wheel chassis surcharge). It's 7190 lbs, $19,900) Here's an exact design of the above to make it street legal (i.e. all tires the same, all PR for this purpose)
Van, Xtra-Heavy Ch., Heavy Suspension, Super PP, 6 PR tires, Driver & Gunner & 3 passengers;  3 MML (10/reg) in 3 sp. turret, PGS with mag (4/reg) back, 2 SWCs, Cargo: 10 spaces, 10 lbs. 160 pts Plastic Armor: F 40 B 30 R 30 L 30 T 15 U 15; HC: 2, Acc. 5, Top 95, Weight: 7170 lbs., Cost: $19,300.00 
In any case, for this update I felt I needed to apply the standard upgrades, e.g. 3 MML to a VFRP (which must be the whole reason for the new weapon), using the cavernous space of the van for a second paint-gas streamer (a device I almost never use) plus all my usual upgrades  (dischargers, laser array, and component armor).   I felt that the heavy amount of CA would offset the loss of 50 pts of armor (heh) even if it makes the name even more useless than usual.
