I was told during my visit that Tortoise was scheduled to run again on 2011 Tankfest. It's now official:

Is the camo scheme on the Grant original or is it an example of "modern art"?

Good question... I don't have an answer. Sorry

There are two M3 Stuarts on display in the Museum. Both are runners. This one was donated by the Brasilian Army in 1990:

This one instead is on loan from a private collector and it's used on Tankfest and similar events:

It's one of those tanks discovered in Brasil a few years ago (one is in Switzerland right now):

I'm still glad to see that some of the vehicles displayed at Bovington have unusual paint and markings :
-SU-100 has Egyptian markings
-StuG III and T-26 have Finnish markings
-M3 Stuart has Brasilian markings
-M3 Scout Car has British markings
-M24 CHaffee has British markings

etc, etc
