WOW!!! At first glance, I thought this is one of the replicas used in movies like Kelly's Heroes or Saving Private Ryan... but it's a real tiger tank!! I didn't hink there where any functional ones left.

Thanks for the link......!!

I hadn't heard that Bovington had gotten their Tiger running yet. That's a great short film. I've GOT to get back to the UK one of these days to see that museum in person.

if you go on to the Bovington web site there is s whole history of the restoration of Tiger 131. Including the near complete disassembly of the tank and rebuild. By the way - the engine powering the Tiger is not the original - that one blew a pistion after being rebuilt and this engine is from another Tiger.
