Vehicle History

The Museum’s Dozer was converted from a Centaur Mark IV, one of 80 Centaurs fitted with the 95mm Close Support Howitzer, and served with the British Army until 7th August 1963. It was eventually sold to Pound’s scrapyard, The Old Chemical Works, Portsmouth in 1968. It was then rescued and restored for the Tank Museum.
