I was going through some old photos and dug this up:

Sadly, it's not my garage, but there are some gems in it.

Wow !!! I can ID most of them !!! With the Churchill, Sexton, Achilles Comet, Cromwell, etc. ... I'm thinking this is in the UK ...  Even with the Yank M901, M47, Stuart and Grayhound ...

That's just a small part of the whole collection & it actually isn't in the U.K. I'll have to dig out the rest of my pics to do it justice. It's probably the best collection outside of Bovington & it blows Aberdeen away. These are all part of Jacques Littlefield's private collection in Portola Valley, CA. He was totally dedicated to restoring AFVs & established the Military Vehicle Technology Foundation . Pretty much everything in the museum runs & the interiors have been brought back to original condition. We were lucky & got to basically climb in/around everything on the property. On that note, WW2 English tanks are designed to be crewed by underfed 16-year olds. I've never crawled through a smaller hatch.
