A British tank collector got a surprise bonus while stripping his recently traded for, ex-Iraqi army Type 69 MBT.
Inside one of the fuel tanks was not a residue of gummy diesel, but rather, 5 gold bars weighing 12lbs each.
Nick Mead, owner of Tanks Alot, and his mechanic Todd Chamberlain, filmed the incident as they had already found machine gun ammunition in the tank. Mead turned over the probably Kuwaiti gold to authorities and received a voucher for it.
Mead traded an Abbot self-propelled gun and a British army truck through Ebay in exchange for the tank.
The Type 69 is a Chinese copy of the widely used Russian T-55.
