Description
T34/85 Russian Main Battle Tank
Rare chance to buy a piece of history. Driven into position 25 years ago and left.
A New, no miles example straight from Polish Army rebuild. All complete inside, a proper sleeper. Most of these have now been bought by super-rich Russians for garden toys and are almost nonexistent in the UK these days.
The latest Russian film release titled T34 has added to Russian demand, if you haven’t seen it yet, you should.

Some parts look very late war and of crude manufacture, compare the exhaust covers. pictures. It’s a reluctant sale for a limited time I’m chasing a T72 and need to build up our war chest.
