[3] The majority of the collection is of German, American and British origin, with a smaller number of vehicles from Norway, Japan, France, Russia and Sweden.
Eight early Wright Continental R975 C1s were found in a barn, and subsequently purchased for the collection, all are scheduled to be restored.
[6] Existing Shermans include an 'Easy Eight', with cast chassis (likely mid production M4A1), D82081 (T23) turret, 76mm gun (with muzzle brake), HVSS suspension, and sharp nosed differential cover.
[8] The collection is expected to include all major Sherman variants and an M10 tank destroyer once restorations are complete.
The Wheatcroft Collection is perhaps notable for having a number of rare Second World War-era German military vehicles, including four Panther tanks,[9] one of which is close to full restoration, a StuG III assault gun, a Panzer III, and a Panzer IV tank and various components from many other vehicles.
