Looks like it was used as a machine gun target.

I know, it could take a while for it to be restored

To be restored?? Whoa. Patching all those holes ... and giving the armor its' former strength?

Yeah restoration will obviously take a VERY long time

Aye.
Well, at least, with the current condition, the ventilation is much better. Right?

And all the money going into it

Are they actually planning to fix it up? You know, I was at our local Air Force museum at a briefing this morning, and the OC was telling me how much of a business this is turning into, repairing old aircraft, but also tanks, cars, whatever. I mean, people go as far as machining the spare parts and reverse engineering if need be. Wow!
So good luck on your Lee/Grant!

I don't know who owns this Lee/Grant tank but it deserves the restoration

It is an M# Grant tank used in WW2 by the British so it is VERY likely that it was used by Monty at some point. Any more information on it?

Unfortunately I didn't get more info and somebody else commented saying about Montgomery using this tank tooΒ

Wow! An old M3. I bet that one a range target for a long time. Sat on some base target range getting shot at.

its a crying shame to see tanks in this condition, i mean i know they've been in wars and such but thay have got to take better care of stuff like this so a piece of history doesn't rust away foreverΒ

That's true but it's unknown how it can be restored unless if they gave it completely new parts and thanks for the Β too

yeah i agree with you there
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep and it definitely needs a new turret at that

darn that is though M3 Grant... they have more holes than my swiss cheese

Restoration looks quite impossible for it though

aahh you shall sigh in beginning but it is worth of it

It received a huge/many canister shot, or...?
(by the way, it's a M3 Grant, with the british turret)

I thought it had to be one of them and it looks like it's been shot at a load of times

"it looks like it's been shot at a load of times"
We can't say otherwise
(or the builder did a very shitty work... lol)
