Default Restored Italian M15/42 & AB41 2008

... last weekend was held an reenactment event in Aulla, Toscany, Italy.

I just found those pics of a fantastic restored Italian Tank M15/42 and an Autoblinda 41. They were driven on public roads!











Pics are taken from here and here.

Great to see those rare beasts on the move!

Thanks for the pics.

P.S.: Foxes seem to attract foxes!

Indeed Hanno.

The M15/42 restore is amazing but, is it just me or is that one of the most unrealistic places to fit jerry cans? The glacis plate!

... here's a short video of the Autoblinda 41/43. Nice engine sound!

And there's the Sherman trying to park.

And the last one: Sdkfz 251 on public roads.

Well considering its an Italian tank that is the best place for them. Why place them on the rear end when that end is going to be facing the enemy most of the time.
