Driving a Tiger Tank

A rare chance to see what it's like inside a running Tiger 1. The clip shows a short test run of Tiger 131 at the Tank Museum in Bovington, England. The 23 litre Maybach engine is now running superbly after a total rebuild by specialists at SdKfz in May 2006.

Many thanks to the guys at Bovington for permitting the inside of this tank to be filmed and broadcast.

Tiger 131 was last running in June 2009 for Tankfest. The engine is currently out and undergoing inspection after 3 years in the tank. All looks good.

Ah! A ride like that makes you feel like a man right? Like nothing can touch you.

I liked how at 3:08 it set off the car alarm. Must have scared the poor little thing.

Damn these things are fun too watch, and even more fun to listen to.

The sound of dat engine, dem treads.

What a nightmare for our poor allied soldiers to see that thing on the loose.
