Just the thing; I’ve had one of these babies sitting out in the back yard for donkey’s years, but couldn’t figure out how to drive it...

In 1970, I was part of a tech support group charged with fitting Cummins VT-8-460Bi diesel engines into the Spanish Army's 11 surviving Tigers, seven of which were Tiger Is and four of which were Tiger II Konigstigers.

In the end the Spanish reworked ten of the Tigers and left the last one original. That kicked open the door to supply the Spanish with a Diesel reengine package for their US-supplied M47 tanks.
