This Leopard is displayed on a section of bridge from a bridgelayer tank. It was manufactured in 1962.
Its number “L03” indicates that it was built by Luther & Jordan of Braunschweig who built seventeen examples; “7218” was the number assigned to it while being tested at MVEE. In the summer of 1989 it was fitted with the Royal Ordnance 105mm Improved Weapons System gun for a trial fit but it was subsequently returned to its original condition with the 105mm L7. The tank was also painted in a version of the German Fleckentarnanstrich camouflage scheme later adopted as the standard NATO pattern by some countries. (Source: Museum Vehicle Record).
