A Pakistani/Kashmiri man just turned up to his wedding in a Self propelled/tank in Birmingham.

How was he allowed to that ? and is their no law against this in UK ? or else where ?

I think the gun function is disabled when they sell to people. It is just for pomp and show and you can also buy tanks in many states of USA as well.

Weapons don’t work bro. It’s owned by a firm that provides them for special days.

I, myself, can't recognize as to what it exactly is. @Khafee

We used to operate them as well.

I have seen a lot of crazy stuff in weddings but this one is on a different league . Maybe the current Kashmir crisis has an effect on peoples behaviours these days!!!!

What exactly is a Self Propelled Tank?
Which tank is not self propelled?

Anyone can buy these and other vehicles from Army's decommissioned vehicles auctions. Then they need to be registered, taxed and safety tested for on-road use.

It is the Only country in the world where driving military equipment is permitted as long as valid registration licence and MOT is maintained.

IF I'm right, this is a scorpion combat recon vehicle, which was retired in '94. So what looks like the 90mm gun doesn't work.

If I am correct then this was sold to a private collector in 2003 or 2004. The tank is in 100% working condition.
