Widely regarded as one of the most successful tank designs of all time, the Centurion Mk 5 represents the pinnacle of British post-war armoured development. It was the "Main Battle Tank" before the term was even fully defined, serving with distinction from the Korean War through to the deserts of the Middle East. Its reputation was built on a perfect trifecta of thick, sloped armour, a powerful Rolls-Royce Meteor engine, and the devastating accuracy of the 20-pounder main gun. Last produced by Armortek almost 14 years ago, the new Armortek Centurion Mk 5 will be given a full design review , si

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as ARMORTEK LIMITED, number 06084164. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
