Do any of you know if there are still any King Tigers that still operate fully today? As far as I know the King Tiger, Tiger 1 and the Panther had bad engines because of there heavy bodys and thus the engine could not operate for long before breaking down.
What do know?
Not a King Tiger, but the Bovington Tank Museum in Dorset, England got their Tiger I running last year and have it out for the crowds in the summer.
I know there is one, saw a movie featuring it in some museum.
Cant find the movie anymore though :?
Well i know for a fact that not king tigers are running, but thats about it for my knowledge on these WWII tanks in running order today.
i know north korea still use t-34, but no idea of panzer or tiger tanks
Only one King tiger is operate today… And it is at Saumur’s Museum in France !
I got this one video clip of a museum that restored a Tiger 1 still with its origanal engine. It sound exelnt and looks fantastic. Give me your E-mail address and I will send it to you.

I have a picture of a functional king tiger in a show ( but I don’t know where this show is) I 'll send it to whoever wants it.
or I can upload it to here, but somebody has to tell me how to do it first. :oops:
Try here. Its fairly straight forwards, but if you have any hassle please feel free to PM me:
This is what I use and I’m a biff at computer stuff and find it fairlt easy to use…
Thanks Firefly. It is very straight forward!
Here is the picture. I am sory it is not very clear. It is taken from a magazine.
There is a M-10 tank destroyer just behind the king tiger, it is just covered a little bit by the king tiger’s turret.
Its ok, if you double click the photo you see the lasrger one. Very interesting it is too.
Wow, you realy got a nice picture. It is not a bad picture. It is amazing that they got it up and running. I wonder if they used the original engine or did they put in a new engine. I have also seen a Russian tank that they made into a Tiger 1. The only part of the Russian tank that you can see is the small weels on the bottom of the tracks.
Landstorm you can E-mail the picture to me at hggreeff@yahoo.co.uk.
