Eddie it’s a 30mm RARDEN cannon fitted. Don’t swap it out you will lose value. And you would also need to chance the elevation balancing gear and all sort. If u need any help in the turret I have years of experience maintaining them and would gladly help you out. And you should get a floatation screen and take her swimming lol
I used to get picked up from school in a clapped out ford Capri imagine that tank rocking up plus the size of his dad nobody is even going to and try and give you any shit absolutely mega total respect 💪👊✌️
Nice to see you and your son have so much fun . I was a driver & mecanical of those CVRT's, as also m113, m109 etc... But most of all Leopard tanks. One remark: When I sit in the turret I always keep one arm horizontal in front of me to protect my face in case the driver makes an emergency stop or on rough terrain. After 38 years in the army I remember some guys hitting those episcopes or brackets in front of them and losing some teeth. Don't want to see that happening with your kid... Enjoy the ride.
@@hal_s8745 This is a Scimitar, has got a 30mm cannon. The whole CVRT family has got 7 types. This Scimitar, his brother (also with a turret) the Scorpion with a 76mm cannon, Then the ones with a bigger hull: The Spartan (personal carrier), the Striker (rocket launcher), the Sultan (command vehicle), the Samaritan (medical vehicle) and the Samson (recovery vehicle). We used them also in Somalië and nevertheless the heat they were rather reliable and because they are fast and not as big as a medium tank a usefull vehicle.
@@hal_s8745 It's a CVR(T) Sabre. It's a later addition to the CVR(T) family and consisted of a Scorpion hull and the turret from the CVR(W) Fox. The conversions were done circa 1994 after the Scorpion and the Fox were decommissioned.
Former 19K20 US Tanker here. Eddie's son cackling like a madman from the hatch is worth every penny to a father. It'd be fun to see you take it out to a range if they'll let you and let that 35mm bark at some targets. Also. Needs a flag. Big Union Jack on a whip aerial.
@@chuckmaddison2924 this is a significantly smaller tank than the ones we can have here in texas. + i legally carry OTF 7 inch switchblades and my glock 19. id say uk still has one of the most restricting laws but its for a reason, you dont have a gun smuggling problem like america does and protection against armed criminals is more important here than anywhere else. if i was still in england id see no reason to carry guns at all.
@@cancerbass6095 I live in what a lot of brits would call a rough area, If your outside of london, You probably won't ever see a knife or gun fight ever in your life, Literally a safe ass country its not worth making them legal because it would probably cause more issues tbh
@@chuckmaddison2924 The main gun is most likely demilitarized, which makes it a mere tracked offroad vehicle. Even if it wasn't, getting your hands on the ammo will be close to impossible. Chances are, even the fire control unit and any advanced optics are removed, too.
I used to crew this type of light tank when I was in the army and during the first gulf war, we would usually get refuelled every two to three days. The fuel tank is about 350 litres (usable) and is of a vulcanised rubber bag inside an aluminium box and is pain to change. You seem to be missing the rear stowage box from the rear of the turret. When you change from 4 to 3 gear, you have to drop the revs right down so you don't bounce the bods in the turret around, it comes with practice. I have been looking for the one I crewed in the gulf war hoping to buy it and its not been decommisioned and sent to be used as a target on a range. Enjoy your Scimitar cvrt Eddie.
I think this is a Saber, there are a few small details that are more obvious but I'm not an expert. The Scimitar is still in service but some have been sold to Latvia and a few given to Ukraine. You might still get you're chance to buy it, if it hasn't already gone on to a new home.
@@SentaDuck the sabre came about when the fox armoured car got taken out of service and the main give away is the night sight cowl, scimitar had a square cover door and scorpion/sabre had a round one, but you are spot on with the slight differences in turret bits
@@PieAndChips will have to disagree as the night sight cowl is the wrong type for the sabre, however I dont intend to get into a heated discussion over something that is now a big boys toy. As long as the beast has fun with it.
@@davidtaylor8464 Turret isn't tall enough to be a Scimitar. Also the Scimitar was fitted with a GPMG and not a chaingun, the shroud for the chaingun is clearly visible.
If you rev it in neutral or snap change the box, you wont be driving it long. The detuned Jag engine doesnt like it neither does the gearbox. . Also you will be looking at about 6 mpg. Tuning: we used to swap the MOD carb for the triple SU as fitted on the Civvy Jag engine.

For future info when filling up.... The catches to lock a pump are still there on UK pumps, they've just removed the pin it latches against, a short (2 inch or so) bit of wire coat hanger is the perfect size to put through the little hole in the handle so you can latch the pump on. I've got a length of coat hanger with a loop I bent into it on my keys for latching pumps on.
two ideas; 1. Bring it to an insurance place to get it evaluated like when you modify your old vehicle with new things the insurance value has to change. 2. Bring it to one of those places that are known for buying vehicles for cheap and see how much they would offer for the tank

Nice one Eddie !!! Just a tip from a former user of these fab little armoured vehicles... Only need to use first gear when performing tight turns or high incline/decline... For general use,, pull away in 2and 3rd or even sometimes 4th.. Make sure revs are low when switching from forward to reverse ,, or your teeth will fall out from the noise .. Hope you get some great use out of it ..

most people who buy and sell these things have a good idea on all the specs of them. I think he left 60l in it so it can be moved to the buyers property.
Things to do with the tank: I like the uber idea alot. Same with the promotions. I'd say a camping trip, overlanding. Target practice (firing the replacement gun). Go through a drive through if possible. Run over some bizarre items. Park it in an unexpected location. Tug of War.

11:00 Thank you Eddie. That right there is some genuine childs joy of getting to enjoy something absolutely ridiculous. Bringd a smile to my face, and I bet to many others too. Cheers mate. And happy to see you having a life after a professional career, too many fell off the wagon afterwards.
There's something so infectious about Eddie! He's like the big brother you'd love to have! He seems so fun to be around! His son seems a nice grounded lad too
Son's face is priceless, what a great dad. What about taking the tank to one of those Range Rover days out places, this would be hilarious watching you drive it up or down those steep climbs or going through their deep deep meandering water/mud trails.
I been following you for the couple of years now... You are the absolute amazing human being that i ever seen .. i enjoy watching your videos and try to imitate like the beast.... Love you man❣️
GEEK WARNING ⚠️ Hey up lad, not classified as a tank it's a CVR(T) Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) from the sound, its got the 4.2 straight 6 Jaguar engine, better with diesel engine. Start in 2nd gear, 1st is classified as emergency and blip the throttle when changing down from 5th to 4th, it makes a difference. Love to have a drive again, all the best in 2023.
what an amazing video! Eddie, thank you so much for your positivity, creativity and inspiration for us all! I was a drug addict in 2021, almost ODed on stimulants, then after hospital, somehow saw one of your videos, then man, everything changed that day. I became a true fan of you, you showed me how to live a healthy and fun life! I wait every day for new videos and watch them with my whole family on big screen! Thank you so much!!! God bless you!
Pull away in 3rd/4th so much smoother. Don't kick down from 4th to 3rd unless you're going really slow (high range to low range)or as seen you get the commanders kick from throwing them halfway out of their hatch. Or a shovel or pick helve wrapped on top of your helmet depending on how they were feeling at the time?
Amazing buddy. The picture and the smile on your sons face says it all. The memories he'll have will be unreal. Eddie your amazing buddy love to meet up with you one day. All the best buddy
Man this is just the coolest dad, you've got a rich dad who's 1 of the strongest men in the world, very wholesome, but most of all, HE BOUGHT A FUCKING TANK
Seeing Max’s face light up when he saw the tank was priceless! Eddie is a fantastic father, a busy man but seems to always have quality time with his son. Bless you Eddie
A golf ball fits just right in the pump handle and you can normally fill twice. Do 100l and put the nozzle back on the pump wait a few seconds and then do another 100l and then you can pay for 200l at a time. Hope that helps
Eddie, my 1st ever UA-cam comment: You are an inspiration as a man, a father, and a person! Both your drive and your humor are contagious! Props - definite props.
So fun to see your sons reaction. Mom of two boys and a girl myself. My oldest is close to the same age and I can only imagine his reaction. Enjoyed it
I know a friend who used double sided velcro, and he wrapped the fuel handle with it, so you dont have to hold it, he bought an apc wheeled with a 750 liter tank
Max’s reaction is probably the best thing I’ve ever seen in a Eddie Hall video. Well done pal. I remember my dad buying a r33 skyline to impress me and it still does to this day. Too parenting!
Trick to fill up with having to hold the pump is to place the petrol cap within the pump. The pump will still cut of when it is full but it may just take slightly longer to fill up.
The Beast! Your content never disappoints. I still cheer you on regardless of the fact that I'm across the pond. Best dad ever picking up the boy in a freakin' tank! His reaction was absolutely priceless. That's a memory both of y'all will never forget! You guys need a new season of strongest man.
This is the FV107 Scimitar Light Reconnoissance Vehicle (Tracked), sometimes referred to as a Light Tank or Infantry Fighting Vehicle. They can be fitted with the L23 76mm Gun which are designated Scorpion or the 30mm Rarden gun which is the tank here nicknamed Scimitar. The official fuel capacity is 423L. 423L will get you 280 miles. That works out at 3MPG. Awesome vehicle. Should look at getting a warrior in a few years when they are retired as the scimitar and warrior go hand in hand and are both very cool vehicles.
It's very cool but it's not actually a tank, its a bit like calling my moped a Harley. Before anyone gives me any abuse, yes I am saying that because I'm jealous and yes I do have a moped
It sounds fantastic... like a racing truck. Well done, you legend. Just for interest, my 1986 735i has a 100 litre tank from the factory. You Top Trumped me for sure.
I think the most amazing part of the vid for me, apart from Max's reactions while riding out the top, was the fact that you can still pump your gas BEFORE paying in the UK 😳 We haven't been able to do that in the US, except at very, very rare small town mom n pop stores, since like 2008ish.
I’ve literally never been to a pump where you pay first and I’ve lived in the US all my life. Are you on one of the coasts? It’s very different than middle America.
@@jusplay7309 it is proven that it makes no difference, a scam. Look into it, here is one article to read but look further into it because the results are shocking. "A new AAA study reveals why you shouldn't buy premium gas" (copy and past this in browser and it will come up.
@@Protein33 wrong. premium is just higher octane and not more stabilizing. dont comment on topics you are clueless on. today since ethenol is used instead of traditional fuel octane boosters it attracts water and gums up way faster.
I got my H licence (Track) in one of those back in 2003, when I was in the the Army. Its a CVRT Scimitar Tank. The Army changed out the Petrol engine for a diesel one a year or so later, much more torque and better fuel consumption, but the petrol versions sound better, smell better and dont kick out as much black smoke haha. Awesome video Eddie, really enjoyed it bro. 👍
Eddie walks into the gas station and people are amazed to see Eddie's monster filling the tank with force, and it's unbelievable. Always amazing Eddie.🐯😈❤️
I wonder how much harder it is to pull this 8 tonne vehicle due to it being tracked compared with trucks that weigh more but are wheeled. The rolling resistance comes to mind. Maybe a tank pull at a charity event could be an idea worth trying out once.
depends on neutral steering. Shouldnt be a issue as the tracks both move oppositye each other to turn, Rather than most Soviet and early french tanks that would move only 1 side of track when turning.
i know accectly how eddie was feeling on the station. in this harvest season, we have to refill our combine harvester, a claas lexion 8900 tt on a public petrol station. we refill round about 1100 liter of diesel, the fuel tank can hold 1150 liter. The good think is, that in germany you dont need to hold it the whole time. funny thing: as we hit the 1000 liter, there was an error on the station display 🤣 the cost for 1 liter at that day was 1,60 €, so total cost of round about 1800 € , on todays change rate (25. Oktober 23) is was ca 1550 pound, but we get a coffee and a sausage for free for the whole team of 4 people 😆
2:05 I like the idea that a bunch of people got together and talked about a law for tank speed limits. I want to meet the dude who made that law needed.
Pretty sure you don't need premium for a tank. Usually they are designed to use lower quality fuel because in war times that's usually the only thing available.
It was worth buying just to see how happy his son was
The tank is a genuine business venture, but the memories iv already made with my son are absolutely priceless and il treasure them forever ❤️

Your lads reaction is absolutely priceless 🥰 that’s a memory and a half for you both 🤘
11:00 Thank you Eddie. That right there is some genuine childs joy of getting to enjoy something absolutely ridiculous. Bringd a smile to my face, and I bet to many others too. Cheers mate. And happy to see you having a life after a professional career, too many fell off the wagon afterwards.
Tank you very much 😄
There's something so infectious about Eddie! He's like the big brother you'd love to have! He seems so fun to be around! His son seems a nice grounded lad too
The joy your son experienced in that moment brought tears to my eyes, good job dad!!!
Almost got me too
Same
Already got me too btw , got me into tears 😭 , Wkwkh
Son's face is priceless, what a great dad.
What about taking the tank to one of those Range Rover days out places, this would be hilarious watching you drive it up or down those steep climbs or going through their deep deep meandering water/mud trails.
I been following you for the couple of years now... You are the absolute amazing human being that i ever seen .. i enjoy watching your videos and try to imitate like the beast.... Love you man❣️
Love you too brother, hope you’re doing ok out there 🙏
I've been watching since June or July 2019 which was when I was 10
This man is an absolutely terrific dad.. and a genuine human being... Big softy at heart but a real family man
He's even got a water jug strapped to the back, Staying hydrated as always.👍
With some cranberry juice just the essentials
Eddie hydrated? That’s a first.
@@Xhelious 500 kg Weight Lifting World Record By Eddie Hall 💪❤
We all know what happens to Eddie when he’s dehydrated
GEEK WARNING ⚠️ Hey up lad, not classified as a tank it's a CVR(T) Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) from the sound, its got the 4.2 straight 6 Jaguar engine, better with diesel engine.
Start in 2nd gear, 1st is classified as emergency and blip the throttle when changing down from 5th to 4th, it makes a difference.
Love to have a drive again, all the best in 2023.
what an amazing video! Eddie, thank you so much for your positivity, creativity and inspiration for us all! I was a drug addict in 2021, almost ODed on stimulants, then after hospital, somehow saw one of your videos, then man, everything changed that day. I became a true fan of you, you showed me how to live a healthy and fun life! I wait every day for new videos and watch them with my whole family on big screen! Thank you so much!!! God bless you!
Best part of this video is seeing Max’s face light up. Absolute legend mate! X
Actually got tears in my eyes as soon has your son started laughing like a happy villain. Memorable action sir!
Pull away in 3rd/4th so much smoother. Don't kick down from 4th to 3rd unless you're going really slow (high range to low range)or as seen you get the commanders kick from throwing them halfway out of their hatch. Or a shovel or pick helve wrapped on top of your helmet depending on how they were feeling at the time?
Seeing your son so excited and happy brought a tear to my eye. I hope to be as good a dad as you one day, Eddy. Much love, mate.
Amazing buddy. The picture and the smile on your sons face says it all.
The memories he'll have will be unreal.
Eddie your amazing buddy love to meet up with you one day. All the best buddy
That would be so fn epic getting pick up that way 10:35 his smile says it all
Man this is just the coolest dad, you've got a rich dad who's 1 of the strongest men in the world, very wholesome, but most of all, HE BOUGHT A FUCKING TANK
Best part was the smile of Eddie's boy. Priceless.
That laugh was worth it all... seeing a kid laugh from the belly is the most pure thing ever.... Well done Eddie fella...
Your boys reaction when you drove off together was just spectacular!
Next time you fill it use a truck pump. You can clip them to hold the handle up and no limit to how much you fill up before you need to pay.
Truck pump only has diesel, truck runs on diesel,
Wouldn't make for a good video though 😂
@@wow1221 I don't fancy ringing the AA to tell them you put diesel in by accident...
No truck pump has petrol pal
Or just put a tennis ball in to hold it on
Seeing Max’s face light up when he saw the tank was priceless! Eddie is a fantastic father, a busy man but seems to always have quality time with his son. Bless you Eddie
A golf ball fits just right in the pump handle and you can normally fill twice. Do 100l and put the nozzle back on the pump wait a few seconds and then do another 100l and then you can pay for 200l at a time. Hope that helps
This’ll definitely help the next year he fills up that tank 😂 depending on how often he uses the tank since it holds so much
fuel waster
I don't remember seeing a UA-camr/Vlogger video with more views than the channel has subscribers, this is definitely something special
Eddie, my 1st ever UA-cam comment: You are an inspiration as a man, a father, and a person! Both your drive and your humor are contagious! Props - definite props.
So fun to see your sons reaction. Mom of two boys and a girl myself. My oldest is close to the same age and I can only imagine his reaction. Enjoyed it
I know a friend who used double sided velcro, and he wrapped the fuel handle with it, so you dont have to hold it, he bought an apc wheeled with a 750 liter tank
Hes not your friend if you just know him
@@xinnocent88x person then.
Tennis ball, problem solved
Top tip, either jam the filler cap in the handle or something else to keep it squeezed in when filling up. works a treat
Who knew a big tank has a big tank
got me tripping
small nozzle though, or is it just proportionally small?
You gotta have a big tank when the big tank probably gets max 1mile/gallon so the assault on Paris must go on!
Wait till he figures out that fuel gets spoiled and goes bad with time 😂😂😂
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Amen
Max’s reaction is probably the best thing I’ve ever seen in a Eddie Hall video. Well done pal. I remember my dad buying a r33 skyline to impress me and it still does to this day. Too parenting!
Trick to fill up with having to hold the pump is to place the petrol cap within the pump. The pump will still cut of when it is full but it may just take slightly longer to fill up.
That is one real good dad making his son so happy!
That's so heartwarming to see how happy his son was!
Yours son's reaction had me smiling so much! You're a great father, Eddie .. he's a lucky kid
The Beast! Your content never disappoints. I still cheer you on regardless of the fact that I'm across the pond. Best dad ever picking up the boy in a freakin' tank! His reaction was absolutely priceless. That's a memory both of y'all will never forget! You guys need a new season of strongest man.
Thanks for the feedback, I will love to share new findings with you in a moment contact me privately☝️❤..
You know what tank model this is?
@@StarWarsExpert_ CVR(T) Alvis Sabre
For the filling, use a tennis ball in front of the pump trigger. They were standard kit at POD sites.
That boys reaction was amazing! What a memory to share together for their rest of their lives!
There was so much happiness in that video. Your sons reaction was a joy too watch.
This is the FV107 Scimitar Light Reconnoissance Vehicle (Tracked), sometimes referred to as a Light Tank or Infantry Fighting Vehicle. They can be fitted with the L23 76mm Gun which are designated Scorpion or the 30mm Rarden gun which is the tank here nicknamed Scimitar. The official fuel capacity is 423L. 423L will get you 280 miles. That works out at 3MPG. Awesome vehicle. Should look at getting a warrior in a few years when they are retired as the scimitar and warrior go hand in hand and are both very cool vehicles.
It's not a Scimitar, it's a Sabre.
It's an ex- Scorpion hull mated with the turret from the CVR(W) Fox.
It's very cool but it's not actually a tank, its a bit like calling my moped a Harley. Before anyone gives me any abuse, yes I am saying that because I'm jealous and yes I do have a moped
The Best Father to Son Video on you tube, love it 😊
fan bloody tastic. Love Max's reaction. Great stuff Eddie
It sounds fantastic... like a racing truck. Well done, you legend. Just for interest, my 1986 735i has a 100 litre tank from the factory. You Top Trumped me for sure.
My balls hold 80000 litres of juice
Happy tears end up unhappy. You never allow yourself to be happy.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ legend
Just the insane laughter from his son as they pulled away said it all.
You are a good dad, putting a smile on your sons face must have have meant a lot to ya…. Good for you.
I think the most amazing part of the vid for me, apart from Max's reactions while riding out the top, was the fact that you can still pump your gas BEFORE paying in the UK 😳 We haven't been able to do that in the US, except at very, very rare small town mom n pop stores, since like 2008ish.
Actually in whole Europe you are filling tank and paying later tho

Land of the Free
I’ve literally never been to a pump where you pay first and I’ve lived in the US all my life. Are you on one of the coasts? It’s very different than middle America.
@@TylerSchulsThisIsHe I'm not American but it's different all over due to state legislation. Some states you still can't even pump your own gas.
It’s always lovely to see your interaction with your family. Was brilliant to see Max’s first deadlift here’s to wsm 2030’s
Good father good man good family :) keep being a good exemple to the world, you are an inspiration for us all.

Well it saids that...A kids Smile is a Priceless One...
Make sure you put fuel stabilizer in it, the fuel can go bad having a shelf life of 3-6 months and then you will have expensive problems.
Doesn’t the premium already have all the additives already?
@@jusplay7309 it is proven that it makes no difference, a scam. Look into it, here is one article to read but look further into it because the results are shocking. "A new AAA study reveals why you shouldn't buy premium gas" (copy and past this in browser and it will come up.
They do yes. This comment is from the 80s
Not needed premium fuel already has this unless he's putting it away for the winter then it's needed.
@@Protein33 wrong. premium is just higher octane and not more stabilizing. dont comment on topics you are clueless on. today since ethenol is used instead of traditional fuel octane boosters it attracts water and gums up way faster.
Eddie Hall is the Tank! Lol. Wow this is so cool. I love how his son was just over the moon excited and just loving it. What a Beast of a machine.
Buying a tank, pretty damn cool. The reaction from your son, PRICELESS.
pretty ignorant id say
How much did it cost him to buy it??
what you need to fill the tank is to have an adjustable pressure/flow rate pump. it will fill much faster.
Priceless to see your son laughing with joy. Put the tank in a strongman competition to see who can pull it.
4:52 the worlds strongest man complaining that the petrol pumps too hard to squeeze 😂😂😂
I got my H licence (Track) in one of those back in 2003, when I was in the the Army. Its a CVRT Scimitar Tank. The Army changed out the Petrol engine for a diesel one a year or so later, much more torque and better fuel consumption, but the petrol versions sound better, smell better and dont kick out as much black smoke haha. Awesome video Eddie, really enjoyed it bro. 👍
Isn't is a Sabre? Looks like a Fox turret.
Or scorpion as it is nicknamed.
@@julmdamaslefttoe3559 Scorpion had a 75mm gun not 30mm

Eddie walks into the gas station and people are amazed to see Eddie's monster filling the tank with force, and it's unbelievable. Always amazing Eddie.🐯😈❤️
He might as well hydrate himself while he's at it 😝
"gas station" Yeeha, goshdarnit, what in tarnation y'all🤣
@@alexroca6981 (Eddie Hall) "Very, very, very very dehydrated..." 😝
I wonder how much harder it is to pull this 8 tonne vehicle due to it being tracked compared with trucks that weigh more but are wheeled.
The rolling resistance comes to mind. Maybe a tank pull at a charity event could be an idea worth trying out once.
2018 Australia’s strongest man Eddie Williams /watch?v=TvTpUf_4zfI
Man, that's genius!
I don't think it's even possible right? The tracks provide an extreme amount of friction, that's almost eight tonnes directly.
@@aurelmatthews4164 look at my reply above, was already done in 2018
depends on neutral steering. Shouldnt be a issue as the tracks both move oppositye each other to turn, Rather than most Soviet and early french tanks that would move only 1 side of track when turning.
His sons reaction was priceless love seeing happy kids
i know accectly how eddie was feeling on the station. in this harvest season, we have to refill our combine harvester, a claas lexion 8900 tt on a public petrol station. we refill round about 1100 liter of diesel, the fuel tank can hold 1150 liter. The good think is, that in germany you dont need to hold it the whole time. funny thing: as we hit the 1000 liter, there was an error on the station display 🤣
the cost for 1 liter at that day was 1,60 €, so total cost of round about 1800 € , on todays change rate (25. Oktober 23) is was ca 1550 pound, but we get a coffee and a sausage for free for the whole team of 4 people 😆
If the gas trigger isn't able to lock just put your gas cap in there. Also I'm pretty sure that tank would run fine on regular petrol.
2:05 I like the idea that a bunch of people got together and talked about a law for tank speed limits. I want to meet the dude who made that law needed.
this guy is one of a kind 😂 never change Eddie!
Pretty sure you don't need premium for a tank. Usually they are designed to use lower quality fuel because in war times that's usually the only thing available.
That's actually a real nice tank, cracking size and shape
its technically not a tank
its an IFV
