Renting a Bentley or Rolls-Royce is a waste of money when you can rent a Tank Limo.
Nick Mead, owner of the Tank Limo would describe his enormous masterpiece in three words: Big, Impressive and Noisy. Tod Chamberlain is his tank commander. Rolling Thunder is a better description.
Tank Limo is the most famous and unique stretched tank that you can rent. It is perfectly road legal and located in the U.K. You now have another option if you are in the area and need a ride to their prom night. Renting a Bentley, Rolls Royce is a great way to be a little (or a lot!) different.
Mead’s journey with tanks began 30 years ago, when he acquired two of them. His goal was to sell one and keep one. Before he could deliver, however, a company requested that he rent the tank. This rental returned more than half the tank’s worth in one day. He saw it as an opportunity for business.
The Tank Limo is legal to drive in the U.K. Mead stated that the tank limousine could reach 35 MPH on a private road but he believes it can do higher. It measures 22 feet in length and 8 feet wide. It weighs 17.5 tons, or 38,580 lbs.
Mead stated that the Tank Limo’s large dimensions and heavy weight make it easy to maneuver. Because it turns in the middle, it is more flexible than a stretched Hummer. Chamberlain stated that they only made an error when they cut a side mirror from a Transit van in London.
