Valentine Infantry Tank
What is your favourite car of all time?
The Valentine was one of the most important British tanks and in 1943 totalled nearly one quarter of British tank output. The Velentine was difficult to drive, but was reliable and robust, and well-liked by its crews. The turret was somewhat cramped and deficient in vision arrangements, but this was not unusual in tanks of that period. The principal armament of the original version was a 2-pdr gun, though a few mounted a 3in howitzer for close support, Later production models carried a 6-pdr or 75mm gun. A total of 11 different marks eventually appeared, differing in type of engine or armament.
