Weald Foundation

We are a charitable organisation set up to preserve, restore and maintain historic military vehicles from both world wars, and to educate the public about their history. Our unique line-up of rare and important military vehicles, including tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles, is considered to be one of the finest working collections in the world.

We are a working collection where schools, engineers, historians, modellers, enthusiasts and collectors come together to discover and learn.

We source original components and where necessary, create new parts from the original blueprints or examples. Our research into the history of every vehicle in our collection – where and when it was assembled, its role in combat and the story of the people who operated them or fought against them - provides unique authenticity to our work.

We receive no UK government funding so our work in restoring vehicles and creating a centre of technical and historical excellence depends on support from you

We were truly delighted to welcome @Sofilein to our workshops, where we had the opportunity to demonstrate our vehicle maintenance procedures.

Sd.Kfz.223 3.Serie rear deck stowage bin. One of the 3 stowage bins fitted to the exterior of the armoured car body. This is one of the interesting original examples we have showing shrapnel damage on the lid. The bin underneath has been recovered and requires a little more attention to bring it back fully - hinge (image lower left) and clasps. A nice original piece. #restoration #insidetrack #sdkfz223 #wealdfoundation #armouredcars

Work on the various stowage bins for our le.Pz.Sp.Wg. armoured cars - the SdKfz 223, SdKfz 222 and SdKfz 261 is progressing well. However, there are still many outstanding repairs required before this task has been completed.
