The Wheatcroft Collection has around 200 items, including more than 130 vehicles, of which 88 are tanks. The majority of the collection is of German, American and British origin, with a smaller number of vehicles from, Japan, France, and Russia. The owner of the collection, Kevin Wheatcroft, has been collecting military vehicles for over 40 years.

The collection is perhaps notable for having a number of extremely valuable and rare Second World War-era German military vehicles, including a number of Panther tanks, one of which is close to full restoration. A number of rare Tiger tanks, both I and II as well as StuG assault guns, Panzer III’s, and a Panzer IV tanks.

The collection is always looking for spares and items that will allow it to complete its restoration so please contact them via their Facebook page. Below is an update of what the collection has been up over the year and you can follow their adventures via the Wheatcroft Collection’s Facebook page

Sherman Tanks

TWC are pleased to report progress on the first of the 10 Sherman’s, the pictures depict an M4A1 being disassembled ready for sand blasting and repair. Many NOS parts and a fully rebuilt engine are waiting to go straight back in to the hull.

Some parts which are no longer available generally, are under manufacture and in most cases a series of parts are being produced so that we are able to offer them to other collectors so anybody interested please feel free to message us.
