Don't ask the Tank Museum about Maybachs for the Tiger.........
(sorry tanks - but there are parallels)
The latest (how many is it now??)engine they're trying is leaking water everywhere as the casting seems to have gone porous according to a note I saw in front of the restored tank last week.
I suspect for the future new build for Tiger Panther and JP engines may be the only option - perhaps the same with D-Bs
Presumably there must be economies of scale if you can build a sizeable batch.
