Are they using the original engine for this one? So cool!!!

[vonpoop]

If I remember right, the original engine was sectioned. But it is running on a correct Maybach.

The whole story is in their 'Tiger Journal'. Sadly I can't add links here - Google for 'Bovington Tiger Journal', and it's at the top of the replies.

Good point.

Its nice that these things rolled on the soil of England only as museum exhibits, :-)

Couldn't invade the UK with them now, they'd get clamped.

Could just be sleep deprivation, but I can almost feel the Tiger's engine rumbling through my chest! Tiger 131 is certainly a rare and beautiful gem!

What a Tank! built back 70 years ago. What a TAnk! when i see one at show , i still WOW! Germans built tank that was un equal unless Allies got in a lucky shot. Like the one were a 76mm bounced off the barrel and wedge in the turrent gears and jammed the turrent, was abandoned. What lucky shot!

Awesome engine sound. Whatever flaws they had, I haven't heard any tank sounding so deep, smooth and solid.
