Text in original Preserved Tanks In Britain publication:
This Abbot arrived in August 2010, having been found in a scrapyard. It had a number of broken torsion bars, including the rear four and the middle one on the driver’s side, but was in running order. By September 2010 its suspension had been dismantled, it had been sandblasted, primed and repainted, and then its tracks and engines were replaced. Some upgrades were done during the work, including replacing the track adjuster with a grease-piston type instead of the wind out type, and higher specification shock absorbers. The inside was refurbished with a grinder, needle gun and silver paint, and the electrics were overhauled. It was running again, and in its current camouflage scheme, in November 2010.
