We are manipulating the mechanics of the Weald Foundation, Martin Torresdale who repaired most of Renault FT - 17. Renault FT - 17 is operated with two left and right levers, throttle, clutch and brake. According to Trozdale, "Driving is not so difficult".
When looking into the cockpit, it was quite narrow, and Mr. Trozdale stayed in the manner of physical education sitting. There is no seat and cushion, because it sits directly on the hard metal floor, it seems that we can not expect much comfort.

A part of the gearbox seemed to have been functioning yet, "Because he did not use the top gear so much in the war, he was doing more beautifully than the other gears," he says while laughing. In addition to the engine department in the back, it was equipped with a tool box that was in use at the time.
