Britain’s Main Battle Tank for twenty years, Chieftain was one of the first true Main Battle Tanks, designed to replace both medium and heavy tanks in front line service. Footage courtesy of British Pathé | The Tank Museum

The Chieftain was Britain’s Cold War Main Battle Tank from the early 1960s to the early 1980s. It has a very distinctive engine note from its Leyland L60 Multifuel engine. An engine that early on was somewhat unreliable, luckily our Chieftain runs, so get an earful of that engine!
