In December 2003, Tiger 131 returned to the museum with a working engine, making it the only operable Tiger tank in the world and the most popular exhibit at the museum. [14] Further work and repainting in period colours completed the restoration in 2012, for a total cost quoted at £80,000.
Partly because of their high cost, only 1,347 Tiger I and 492 Tiger II tanks were produced. [49] The closest counterpart to the Tiger from the United States was the M26 Pershing (around 200 deployed to the European Theater of Operations (ETO) during the war [ 50 ] [ page needed ] ) and the IS-2 from the USSR (about 3,800 built during the conflict).

The VK 30.02(MAN) also shared the same engine as the Tiger, which would help with production and maintenance, it also had larger tracks, which would help with its ground pressure on soft ground. [5] While the Panther was similar to the T-34 in shape, the VK30.01 (DB)'s sloped front was similar, but overall, it was closer to earlier German tanks.
With almost 300 vehicles on exhibition from 26 countries it is the largest collection of tanks and the third largest collection of armoured vehicles in the world.
