Help The Tank Museum raise £1.5m to build The Vehicle Conservation Centre.

The Vehicle Conservation Centre project is pivotal to the future of The Tank Museum, providing 40,000 sq foot of publicly accessible and environmental controlled storage space.

The VCC is part of a wider programme of developments at The Tank Museum which now has the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The total project cost is just over £5m, the HLF have pledged £2.5m and now The Tank Museum must raise £1.5m to put its exciting plans into action.

Support our £25,000 VCC Appeal.

The VCC will ensure that for the first time, every vehicle in The Tank Museum’s collection is stored undercover in environmentally controlled conditions.

The VCC building will cost £2.7m. We estimate that the building will store around 110 vehicles. Therefore, the cost of the VCC per vehicle is approximately £25,000.

The VCC will provide the space to publicly display a number of unique and fascinating vehicles currently stored out of public sight and in poor environmental conditions.

One such vehicle is:

Daimler Scout Car Mk 1 - `The Dingo`

This is probably the sole remaining example of a Mk1 Dingo Scout Car; making it the oldest in existence. The Dingo was a very successful World War II British reconnaissance and liaison vehicle. It was the only British armoured vehicle that was manufactured throughout the conflict. It saw service in all theatres of war and was very popular with those who used it.

By supporting our VCC appeal, you will be helping us ensure that the oldest Daimler Dingo in existence – among a number of other vehicles - is preserved and placed on permanent public display.

Every donation of over £10 will be recognised within the VCC on completion.
