40 years ago we had one in our division. It was equipped with an anti-mine roller with heavy chains at the front, no more cannon but a Browning M2 cal 50 (used in Lebanon). In 1983, she was already an old lady. 4th engineer regiment. My dad served on AMX10 in the late 50th.
The previous owner was not aware of its heritage - and we haven't removed the decals yet! If you look closely, there's even UK regimental badges on it.
Please, oh, please: stop calling a self-propelled artillery piece, a 'tank'!🫡 It was heart breaking watching the destruction of that lovely gun!😪 You couldn't get the gun licenced? There are many privately owned, functional artillery pieces in the UK.
Hi - If you listen carefully I do call it an artillery piece initially. It then reverts to 'tank' as we are hoping to introduce new people to the world of military vehicles, and this is vocabulary they recognise. Also the vehicle - as also stated in the video - is going to the US - and importation of live armaments into the US is not possible for civilian collectors. Therefore it must be cut.

I notice the French tri-couleur on the wing. Was it not a Swiss gun?
