In 2013, military vehicle collector Patrick Nerrant opened the Normandy Tank Museum in Catz, France, just a short distance from Utah and Omaha beaches, the site of the American landing on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The 32,000 square-foot facility holds an impressive collection of American armor and military vehicles, as well as a few German, French and British displays, but on September 18, auction house Artcurial will sell off the museum’s collection in an unusual no-reserve sale.

Great, but imagine the freight cost on that stuff Affraid or WOW!

If, that's IF someone could afford to bid and win, the freight & logistics together would be immensely expensive. If you used flea bay GLobal Shipping, you'd probably never see your item again!! Too much gas 'n gunpowder!
If it were me I'd buy the "duck" and just drive/float/sail it home!
I'm sure there are quite a few riders who'd give their left one for one of those Harley Davidsons. I wonder if they're selling the complete collection or just a few of the excess tanks/trucks and such.

Yes Bob. Lieven surely would have an interest in this. He hasn't been very active here lately. I hope he is well.
