Default Melbourne Tank Museum

Can anyone tell me if there is anything left at the Melbourne Tank Museum? I'll be in Melbourne from the 7th to 12th of this month and would be interested in having a look at any MV collections in the area.
Cheers, Alex

The museum doesn't operate anymore but John Belfield still has lots of interesting vehicles and plenty of yarns. You will need to contact him and see if he is about.
PM me and I can help put you in touch.

The Melbourne Tank Museum was wound up some years ago but since then the ever industrious John Bellfield has been carrying out restoration work on previously derelict vehicles and acquiring the odd example for his private collection though he has disposed of some vehicles in more recent times.
His premises is not open to the public but I have no doubt he would be amenable to a visit from a fellow enthusiast.
I will PM his phone number to you.
