That is literally on the east side of King’s Cross. Do you think there’s one up the road that says Goodie?

The guy unloading is most definitely not an official Army type person. I suspect who is filming this has hired the tank from a collector and they have delivered it. It's not an Army tank, an Army trailer or an Army truck. Most collectors who have tanks and military vehicles also wear camo. Source: I've owned military vehicles and wore camo.

Lol it's Nick Mead from Tanks A Lot, he's not official Army at all. Him and his band of merry mongs like to pretend they are. Well known for scamming Ukrainians and generally being a grade A bell end.

crazy that someone not-famous can shell out for that custom tank for the sake of a promo or video or something. sad that it seems the only people who have a chance of making it as an entertainer are those who can shell out for a custom tank

hire the tank or borrow from a friend. vinyl wrap it for £1000 transport for £500 make money back in adsense, youtube, spotify, insta etc
View on Reddit #63106412

winobeaver@reddit

you act like achieving social media success is as simple as uploading some vinyl-wrapped tank to TikTok. You could certainly spend a lot of money on it, or hire a social media strategist who might tell you how to more wisely spend your money, and this would increase your likelihood of getting a return on investment - but it's not a sure-fire thing, and you need a lot of money to play with before you even try. If you went to HSBC with no assets and said "can I get a £1.5k loan to vinyl wrap a tank so I can put it on social media? I'll make the money back on adsense," then they would say "no, that is a terrible idea."

The track & wheels look vaguely like something from the [FV430 family](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FV432). I'm sure there's an armoured-vehicle-geek sub which can identify it precisely
