Text in original Preserved Tanks In Britain publication:
This is an FV4211, an experimental version of the Chieftain. It was manufactured in 1969 with Chobham armour, and was the first main battle tank in the world with an aluminium hull. It used Chieftain automotive components but clearly resembles the shape of the later Challenger tank. This example is believed to be TV-A, the first of nine Test Vehicles scheduled for production following the trials of two prototypes MTR-1 and MTR-2. It was put on the museum books in 1990.
