There is a guy in the UK named Merlin Batchelor that purchased a 1967 military machine and is using it to start a taxi service.

A ride in this armored vehicle will set you back around $830 for the first hour and $275 for each additional hour, but the tank carries up to nine people who can split the cost.  If you're in a rush though don't expect to get anywhere fast, it only moves around 20MPH.
