May 12, 2021 at 13:39 comment added user35069 Most vehicles can be made street legal in the UK as long as they pass the relevant govt road-worthyness tests and can get insurance. I guess one problem will be getting spare parts but I have seen some tanks etc from WW2 at military displays in the past - obviously the armament (guns) are deactivated or replicas as we're pretty tight on that sort of thing over here.

older tanks
May 12, 2021 at 12:57 comment added David Siegel @Rock Ape Interesting. Would that also be true of older discontinued tanks, say from the WWII era, dom you know?
May 12, 2021 at 12:34 comment added user35069 I don't know about in the US, but all military tanks in the UK are street legal as they need to travel to the ranges etc. Mine didn't have seat belts or air bags but it did have rubber-pads on the tracks, a full complement of regulation lights, and a pretty loud horn.
