Mk 6 cromwell restoration

[Datrus]

We had a bridge layer Centurion (without turret of course) in the Regiment. It was a beast listening to. I must admit i felt quite humble when standing next to it with engine running. I will never forget that vehicle. Knowing the driver had a very limited view.

the meteor sounds great when the vehicle is driving, really smooth and powerful but i have to admit my favourite tank engine is the leyland L60 from the chieftain, the noise it makes is fantastic

[Datrus]

Wow A two-stroke multi fuel engine........

But from reading about it i can see it was not without it's problems. Anyway, that must sound truly awesome. Can't find anything on engine size though. Two-stroke tank

The condition looks A1, its going to be a top class restoration by the looks of it.

ok things are finally moving again on the restoration and with any luck the engine will soon be back in the hull ready for it's first run since rebuild
