Just browsing BBC this am and found this:

Nice hi-def video, gives a good up-close feel for its speed and sound - like the engine is just on the verge of quitting all the while it was running.
Good view of the track tension spring doing its job - reminds of a similar spring that was made bigger than the original on the WW2 M3 HT early on that significantly improved its performance.
Bonus on the video: driving by the front armor piece for a Jagdpanther.
Interesting to read of the mechanical re-discovery process of how to fix it up, make/assemble parts.
