Great to see littlefield's "toy" still making progress - nothing like a factory fresh Panther.

[Mike Davis]

It is looking (and sounding) great!

[Chet Sowersby]

Wow! I'am in love.....

That's amazing. Is it an original one or a made one ?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Original: recovered from a river in Poland in the 1990's. The full story is covered in a TV prog called "Tank restoration". I think you should be able to find it.

Cheers, Ade.

PS: Thanks for the link Bob!

What Mr. Littlefield and his team have done with this Panther is nothing short of absolutely amazing! It's great to see it move under its own power... Imagine the rush those guys must have felt when they saw it move for the first time! The last few years of blood, sweat and tears were definitely worth the effort

Can't wait to see it finished!

Does anyone know how Kevin Wheatcroft's panther(s) are coming along, I would have to assume he's making progress as well.

I just can't believe it
How many original panthers in working condition are found actually in the world?

My congratulations to restorers.
The Panther is very compicated tank, and it is many work to make it running...

I wish them to have no problems in exploitation of this machine.
And much health to Jaques Littlefield and all his team.

[Norman LaBarge]

Absolutely magnificent. Woof, Woof.

[Rob E.]

Definitely looking and sounding great!!!

With this one there are currently 6 running Panthers in the world, 9 if you include three running condition Jagdpanthers. When Kevin Wheatcroft completes his rebuild/restoration program there will be an additional 3 runners, two Ausf A:s and one Ausf. D (rebuilt on an A hull with original D components).
