If you go down to the woods today...

[Mon Ami Mate]

You never know what you might find!

[Greg_D]

claim it for PH!!! it has obviously been abandoned.

[Jasandjules]

Is that a BMP? IF so, what woods are you in?!?!

[turbopug]

Get it towed out and weighed in!

[Mon Ami Mate]

With my expert anorak on I believe this to be a Saracen armoured car. My wife thinks my ex army Land Rover is eccentric. Gawd knows what she would do if I brought this home.

Anybody got some storage space I could make use of...?!!

[ZOLLAR]

That is sooooo cool!.

The first bit would present a bit of a challenge but would be by no means insurmountable. The answer to the second bit appears to "about 11 tons". Not quite sure how you might go about getting in it, and what might be waiting for you if you did. ot sure how you might go about claiming it. Suspect the DVLA might not have a record of it! Main problem would be where to put it!

Pah... when was the last time you saw someone argue successfully with someone in an APC?

Looks like a good one is about £5k

Buy it now before the episode of Top Gear where they buy old tanks and smash things up.

It's not a house, it's a business. I went over and spoke to them and they had no idea it was there and no idea who the land might belong to!

[GB123]

Very cool! How come I never find anything like this?

Holy st DO WANT!!!......I'm guessing you need some kind of heavy vehicles license to drive those things though?

[soad]

Not bad, not bad. Tried firing it up?

[Steve_W]

Alternatively, buy your own tank museum - then have as many toys as you want!!

"Somehere in Cornwall" Tank Museum

I'd start by checking for the presence of an engine etc. before making any plans.

I'm going back at the weekend, this will be the second thing I do, immediately after trying to get inside it!

There might be dead guy inside...

I'm more worried about finding things living in it than dead in it!
