About this vehicle

Work on this tank started in 1943. This project further developed the Valentine by enhancing firepower and armor protection. By 1944, two prototypes with different engines and suspensions had been manufactured. In 1944, all work on the project was discontinued due to the approaching end of the war and the successful development of the more modern Centurion.
