Valley Secret: World's Largest Private Tank Fleet

Nov. 14 (Bloomberg) --- Nestled between the mansions of Portala Valley, sits one of the largest collections of historical military vehicles in the world. Unknown, even to most locals, the Military Vehicle Technology Foundation consists of more than 200 armored fighting vehicles, dating as far back as World War 1.

Unfortunately Jacques Littlefield passed away and his family auctioned all his collection off. A shame they couldn’t keep them all together and made them available to be seen by the public.

[@Hostiledino]

The collection was sold to the American heritage muesame in Hudson Massachusetts

American can own a ww2 and postwar tank wow.

[@gnugnu12]

A lot of countries will allow tanks but most will have to have their armaments disarmed and swapped to non metal tracks if they're going to be on the road at all in order not to damage the road surface. Certain countries will have their own laws and regulations about them too.

[@torjejohannessen6952]

yes they can. I reside in the U.K and I know 2 guys with tanks. 1 of them had 4 tanks and the other has 7 now.
