T34/85 WW2 Main Russian battle tank

Sorry sold. Remember a third of units don't even get advertised.

The predecessor T34-76 although was a sturdy beast lacked clout. And, during 1943, the Russians managed to capture a Tiger 1 tank. Looking at the design, the Russians redesigned the T34. One of the little changes they made was adding a massive 85mm gun to stop shells bouncing off German armour.

T34's are relatively crude tanks, with a metal clutch. This can take a bit of getting used to. But I say 'simple is good', anyone with some mechanical knowledge can maintain these. Yes, some jobs are difficult to get to. But that's all part of the fun of owning a tank.

What you see is what you get. Both are available. But are in need of restoration. Both are in the same location in Slovakia and, have been there for a considerable amount of time. The second T34 is a engineering unit and kind of reminds me of a cartoon character. Sorry at present there is no film. This will be added shortly.

This one is at our yard awaiting, export to U.S. Its amongst a shipment to the U.S.

The T34/85 is now sold please watch the film of it being loaded. These are lovely tanks to drive, nice and simply. As long as you have arm mussles like pop-eye. They are great fun, and that V12 roar. Just makes you hairs stand on end.
