1944 Comet A34 Mk1 Model B 'Victor' – British WW2 Cruiser Tank with Restoration Potential

Описание: This 1944 Comet A34 Mk1 Model B, known as 'Victor', is a solid and running example of one of Britain’s finest World War II cruiser tanks. As a fast, reliable, and well-armed platform, the Comet played a key role in late-war armored operations and remains one of the most sought-after British tanks of the era.

Victor is an older restoration that remains in operational condition. The vehicle was running as recently as March 2024 and was featured at the War and Peace show, demonstrating its agility and presence. However, it currently has a clutch issue due to a leaking slave cylinder seal. This prevents pressure from holding, though the issue can be resolved through a standard repair. Tracks & Trade can coordinate this work upon request.

The vehicle includes original features and wartime configuration but shows signs of wear, including cosmetic damage to the left rear fender and some interior elements that would benefit from refurbishment. The breech has been cut, and the high-pressure chamber shows a torch cut—details relevant for those considering export or display options.

This tank can be sold and shipped to the United States without restrictions. For buyers in other countries, an export license will be required. Our partner BAIV is available to assist with the necessary documentation and transport logistics.

The Comet 'Victor' will be part of the Tracks & Trade Summer Auction 2025. All lots will be visible on our website starting May 1st. Bidding is open from June 21 to June 28.
