‘You’d be looking at north of £6m’: tank collector

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

The Normandy Tank Museum is auctioning off its entire collection of tanks, some of which were used on D-Day. The museum says the decision to sell is down to falling visitor numbers. It is sad news for the museum, but good news for tank collectors. 5 Live spoke to one such collector, Kevin Wheatcroft, who owns his own museum. Kevin told us that he has collected over 80 tanks so far. He said the “enemy tanks� tend to fetch the most money, some even costing “north of £6million�. This clip is originally from 5 Live Breakfast on Sunday 18 September 2016.
