Cruiser Tank Mk VI Crusader I • RAAC Tank Museum

Current Condition

Externally cosmetically restored and painted with the shipping marks present when it was sent to Australia. Largely complete but missing some of it's track guards and is fitted with a 37 mm gun. Stored under cover it seems to be in running condition. (Note I have seen more recent photos with the turret hatch and 37 mm removed, possibly a 2 pounder has been fitted).

Vehicle History

Sent to Australia in 1941 as an example of a modern cruiser tank to assist with the design of the Australian Cruiser tank. It's main armament was removed for use in one of the AC prototypes.
