This Rolls-Royce Tank Engine Hasn’t Run Since 1990

Autos and Vehicles

Last chance to Win the Landrover or £10,000 link below ⬇️ https://raffall.com/421495/enter-raffle-to-win-land-rover-defender-or-10000-hosted-by-mrhewes Today we finally attempt to start a Rolls-Royce V12 tank engine that’s been sat untouched since 1990. Originally reconditioned and packed away decades ago, this engine has never been used… until now. After carefully unwrapping it and setting everything up, we run it for the very first time to see if a 36-year-old “new” tank engine will still fire into life. But that’s not all that happened this week… The local young farmers (KELMARSH YFC) also came over to attempt the impossible — pulling one of our tanks by hand! We also make more progress on the Diamond T restoration, continue sandblasting work on the WW2 Halftrack project, and tease a very special vehicle arriving soon. Thanks for watching and supporting these mad projects!
