Attachment 128435 In 2016, when it was autioned by the Normandy Tank Museum and sold for €347.200 excl. 20% fees: Attachment 128436 And some background story of what happened when previous owner Tony Buzbee — a trial lawyer, Marine veteran, the grandson of a Normandy vet — parked the fully operational tank on the street in front of his home on Houston’s swankiest residential thoroughfare: https://www.texasmonthly.com/the-dai...ver-oaks-tank/ |

I followed the auction when it closed. A last minute bump of US$5,000 to a total of US$355,000 did not meet the reserve bid.
