Goldeneye T-55 Tank

[REEF]

Spotted this in a field the other week, thought I'd take a look.

This was a permission job, the owner was only too happy for me to take a look but keeps it very secure so DON'T go up there.

This is the tank used in the Goldeneye bond film (in my view the best one). Its a Russian T55 Main Battle Tank, had several modifications made for the movie which included changing the original steel tracks to Chieftain tracks with rubber pads so it could be driven on the road, reactive armour was added to make the vehicle look like a modern day Tank. The running gear and engines are Chieftain as the tank was not able to do the speeds needed to get it to skid like it does in the film.
