Ha, last few words

Who has a steam train then..... (And not a toy)

That Panzer is in awesome condition, will be worth a fair ££££££ as well.

Nah, someone (a prominent former Nazi party member) with political views way over to the left of Max's

The owner "was chugging around in that thing during the snow catastrophe in 1978".

A tank, AA gun, torpedo - that's a real man cave!

Too true, the article states the owner had told of the inability of either to fire.
There's not even a machine gun in the bow portal thing, i thought this was meant to be some serious concourse stuff.

When you look at some of the tank wrecks people restore that one is near mint, and worth an awful lot of money, many hundreds of thousands of pounds if not more.

A PzkwV in that condition will be worth a hell of a lot.

[Mr GrimNasty]

I don't get the interest, it's just an enthusiast's collection, not a barn find left over from the war. All correctly deactivated by all accounts, just seems someone in authority has got their knickers in a twist for no reason.

Indeed. Working ones are as rare as hen's teeth

That. You can see machine guns etc have been removed. Seems very sinister. What will the government do with them. Auction them to,private buyers probably.
