Most, if not all of you, will be familiar with Tiger 131 probably the most famous exhibit at the Tank Museum in Bovington. As the world’s only working example of a Tiger 1, the Tank Museum wants to ensure that this important vehicle remains a moving exhibit, but now the Tiger needs urgent re-restoration work to make this possible and the museum has launched an appeal to raise the funds.

To help the appeal Armortek are donating a Tiger 1 kit from its 2010 production which the Museum are offering as a prize in a draw. For every £10 you donate you will be entered into the draw, so the more you donate the more entries you will get!
