Around the credit crunch 2010-ish some posho turned up in one of those to a demonstration outside my office (the big RBS building that was on the news every night).
He got super-arrested and IIRC they threw the book at him.

Didnât Jimmy Cauty (KLF) have one back in the days of protesting against the dualling of the A30 from Honiton down to Exeter. Mid 90âs. Had some hefty pa horns strapped to it as I recall.
Ah yes.
Jimmy Cauty, formerly of The KLF, acquired two Saracen armoured vehicles, which he modified into âweapons of audio destructionâ. He reportedly purchased them for around ÂŁ4,000 and equipped them with audio cannons capable of transmitting sound up to seven miles. These vehicles were later used in a road protest near Exeter, Devon.
In addition to the Saracens, Cauty also purchased an armoured car with a history of alleged use in low-frequency sound experiments. He famously took this vehicle to the top of a hill in Devon and played music across the countryside, reportedly causing livestock to frenzy. Cauty also famously burned ÂŁ1 million in cash and filmed it, later touring the film around the UK.
The armoured vehicles were used in various contexts, including a road protest and as part of a âTriple Aâ (AAA) formation with a sonic device called S.Q.U.A.W.K. 9000. The vehicles were described as part of a defensive position during the protest, with the sonic device intended to be used in response to any offensive action

Aye, a wee bit (?) eccentric for sure. Quite fond of the number 23 I believe.

Looks up to the job, any job in fact.
The garage one road over from me has a permanent rolling smorgasbord of Bristols outside it. Although I couldnât see one of the âboxy 80s onesâ there today.

We actually used to have one who actually thought they were good cars.
He flounced.
Youâd think someone who likes Frod Scrappios would have a sense-of-humour, eh?
