The things you find on E-Bay...

[RASelkirk]

I do a daily search on military vehicles and found these three pristine British tanks out of New Jersey, USA:

1989 Other Makes | eBay
2001 Other Makes | eBay
2001 Other Makes | eBay

Since I've never really followed tanks, I don't know if these are priced right, but they seem cheap for what they are...

Make a complaint to eBay under misleading/incorrect description. They are not Tanks.

If you want a Tank you won't go far wrong with a Challenger 2 MBT, should the UK decide to sell any off.

I avoided saying that but as per usual, Ebay seller has an incorrect listing. Agreed, not even close.

Most of us civilian types tend to call any war machine on treads a "tank", just like we tend mislabel toilet paper as "Charmin" or facial tissues as "Kleenex"...

Aside from all that, pretty cool stuff!

When there was more Abbot 105mm Self Propelled Guns around in the UK many people insisted on calling them "Tanks", in a very irritating manner, just because they had a gun and a turret. It was a losing battle trying to explain that they were not Tanks.

Agh! I meant to ask, what are the splayed tubes near the front of these "tracked vehicles"? I'm thinking chaff mortars?

For firing canisters of smoke for when one drives into a "spot of bother"; in order to extricate ones self under the cover of smoke.
