When Joe Hughes (23) sold his old Soviet tank to Nick Mead (otherwise fanatic for tanks), he couldn’t even to imagine that for the pittance given up gold bars worth nearly two and a half million euros. It’s amazing that a young Hughes is not sorry, and from Mead who gave him £30,000 for the tank, he expect to buy him a beer. “Everyone is thinking I should be devastated to have missed out on what could be a fortune but I’m not too upset because I made a fair bit of money on the tank anyway.
“I haven’t been in touch with Nick but if he does get to keep some of the some of the money, I expect a pint!”
The mechanics separated the tank, which is shipped in the UK from Iraq. It is believed that the gold bars in the reservoir tank are placed during the invasion of Kuwait in the 1990’s.
They decided to record all, because in the reservoirs is hidden weapons.
All they decided to film because it is in the reservoirs of hidden weapons. However, their reaction when they encountered instead of weapons to gold, there is no cost.
Gold bars are currently in the hands of the police, who is trying to find out whether suit to reported stolen gold. If not belong, Nick and his mechanics are very lucky.
